Send the dump file to Microsoft if you have a fast internet connection. The
spooler service in Vista will no longer load kernel mode drivers so the
print driver cannot cause the blue screen. However any USB, DOT4, mass
storage, or network drivers are loaded in kernel space and can cause a blue
screen. Is there a driver name in the upper left corner of the screen when
you hit the bugcheck?
