Print Spooler Not Running message keeps reoccuring

[Guest]

I have a printer attached directly to computer A and shared with computer B &
computer C. After a few times successfully printing, computer C fails to
print and gives the message "print spooler not running". Checking the
spooler service verifies that it is "started" & set to "Automatic".
Computers A & B continue to print while computer C is in the failure mode.

I have uninstalled the printer & then reinstalled (Samsung ML-1750). This
did not help. I uninstalled the ML-1750 and installed a new Samsung ML-2250
printer. Same problems occurs.

It seems to me that there must be a problem on computer C. Any suggestion
for a fix or diagnostics to run?

99% of the time when the spooler crashes, it's from corrupted printer
drivers. Use Bruce Sanderson's instructions to completely blitz all traces
of the drivers from Computer C and start over.
