Spooler SubSystem App stops working

[Guest]

I am using Windows Vista Enterprise Edition. I am having troubles with
setting up printers on my Dell 820 Laptop. As soon as I logon, I receive
following error. I tried manually restarting the Print Spooler service. It
starts fine but within couple of minutes it stoppes again with the same error
message.

I have Vista Ultimate RTM installed on a D820 and am not experiencing print
spooler issues like you mention. I realize that Ultimate is not Enterprise,
but I can't image they would have different print spooler code...

I personally don't think it's related to D820 bios. I had similar issue on
D810 running XP SP2. We later found that a mobile network card software was
conflicting with the Print Spooler service. In this instance, I am not able
to locate the offending app. I don't use that mobile connect software
anymore. it must be something else.

This is often caused by a printer driver failure or buggy printer drivers.

I am having a simular issue but it is because of the Dell Printer. I was able to use my friends wireless HP printer on vista. I just wish Dell would hurry up with the Vista drivers

I'm seeing the same thing here with HP workstations. It appears to be
conflicting with an RPC process?

I don't think this has anything to do with printer drivers. I have seen this
on a couple of HP workstations now, one of which had 0 printers installed,
the other (mine) has only network connected Xerox machines. The process
quits while there is no printing pending or otherwise?

Not sure if you ever found a solution for this, but here's another suggestion
that worked for me. I spent 3 solid days trying absolutely everything I could
find. This was also on a full clean install almost from the word go. So I
looked in the even log as to what was causinng the spollsv.exe to crash, and
it said "localspl.dll". So I took that dll from another machine that was
working fine and replaced it (you may need to take ownership of the file
first) and voila! 3 days of headaches and it's all working

This is not a solution I found anywhere else, so could help you. I am
presuming that the file didn't copy over in the install correctly, despite
being the second time I installed with that disc!

Hope it helps.

Sorry, that should read spoolsv.exe.

And also to add, the localspl.dll is in the System32 folder.

I installed Vista on my PC and since then every time I try to print a
document from any of the Office 2007 programs, the computer takes more than
30 seconds to identify the default printer. This happens with my local
printer and also when I use a network printer. If I print a document from
Adobe, the printer dialogue instantly appears in the screen. Please let me
know how I can resolve this. Thank you. Joaquin,
