Re: print spooler service not running

I get the same issue. I'm running the latest business release and it
constantly crashes. I have it set up to automatically restart the service
in the event of and problems with it, but it will still crash over and over
again. Thank you

Hi all, just wanted to add a 'me 2' except I successfully added all my
printers and a couple of days later I get the spooler service crash all the
time. Whats worse is if you try to uninstall the printers it immediately
crashes the spooler service and will not remove the printer.Sure you can
start the spool service long enough to maybe print one document, but keep
services.msc handy cause it will crash.

Same problem. Also using Vista and Toshiba Printer (eStudio 520)
This instruction in this link fixed it. Good luck!
