I have a laptop with Windows 2000 installed on it. Before I deployed it I
installed a network based printer and all seemed fine. Now that it is on
the clients desk, she is unable to print and I cannot open the printers
folder (it hangs the system). I have tried going in through the control
panel etc but the computer still freezes up. The only other clue I have is
the spoolsv.exe in Task Manager is showing a large amount of memory
consumption (20+ MB).
Can anyone shed any clues as to how I can fix this? Other than thins
problem the computer seems fine.
Sounds like one of the installed drivers is corrupted. Whenever I have
spoolsv.exe problems, this usually fixes it:
