Re: Spoolsv.exe & CPU Since Update

Yes, I checked the system log and the printing errors (copied below) began
immediately after my update on 8/13/05. I think I can find the name of the
updates listed in the system log as well.

I've read the link but I do not receive error messages as stated in the
Article. The print job seems to start, the printer icon appears in the
system tray and then goes away without any data sent to the printer. When I
try to print a test page, nothing happens, no error messages, it just hangs.
Then I found, after any attempt to print, my LAN is shut down until I unplug
the router and plug it back in.

Does this sound like the same problem to you? Thanks.
