Re: Spoolsv.exe & CPU Since Update

Hi Don,

Thanks for your update.

Yes, it is possible. Based on my research, the Brother HL-1650/1670 is
using Unidrv-based Printer Control Language (PCL) printer driver. So, I
suggest that you may refer to the workaround of KB832219 for a test:

WORKAROUND
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious
problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft
cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using
Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

If you cannot wait for the server to complete the parsing of all the
Unidrv-based printer drivers, manually remove all cached binary printer
description files (.bud files), and then let them be automatically
re-created. Depending on the speed of your server, this automatic
re-creation may be completed in a shorter time. Typically, this operation
is completed within 30 minutes.

Note When Print Spooler starts, it installs a newer version of Unidrv.dll.
As a result, the .bud files are out of date. The .bud files are the
compiled versions of .ppd files and can be completely regenerated from
those .ppd files. Because of this, you can remove the .bud files. To do
this, follow these steps:

1. Stop the Print Spooler service. To do this, run the following command
from a command prompt:
net stop spooler
2. Search for all .bud files, and then make sure that they are stamped with
the current time and date. The files appear with today's date.
3. Remove all .bud files that have a date and time stamp that is before
today's date. These files are located in the following folder:
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Spool\Drivers\w32x86\3
4. Remove the following registry key if it exists:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\PostSPUpgrade
To do this, follow these steps:a. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in
the Open box, and then click OK.
b. Locate, and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print
c. On the Registry menu, click Export Registry File.
d. In the File name box, type printkey, and then click Save.

Note If you later have to restore the Print registry key, you can do so by
double-clicking the Printkey.reg file that you saved.
e. Locate, and then click the following registry subkey if it exists:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\PostSPUpgrade
f. On the Edit menu, click Delete, and then click Yes to confirm the
removal of the PostSPUpgrade registry key.

Note The PostSPUpgrade registry key may reappear after you restart the
computer. This behavior occurs if other .bud files exist that have not yet
been parsed. After these files have been parsed, this registry key is
automatically removed.

5. Restart the server.
After you restart the server, printing functionality is available to users
after about 30 minutes.


If the issue persists after above steps, you may uninstall the current
driver and try to download and install the following driver:

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day!
