spoolsv issue

[Dan Conrad]

Computer (XP-Pro) running very slow. Task manager process tab says
spoolsv.exe taking up 99% of cpu. Close this task and unit is fine.
Print something -- prints but even after printing spoolsv is again
taking 99% of cpu. Computer in environment where both lpt1 and
networked printers are connected. Suggestions?
