Re: Spoolsv.exe & CPU Since Update

OK. I tried the workaround. Deleted two BUD files and then went to regedit
and never found a subkey PostSPUpgrade. I deleted by old printer and added a
new printer using the generic Brother drivers as provided on the link you
left. I could even see the printer "opening" and the BUD file appearing and
then tried to print a test page when it was ready. The test page error
message popped up immediately. Then, my printer was no longer recognized on
the network and I had to unplug and plug in again the router to be able to
see the printer on the network. Then I tried printing a test page again
without success. And now my printer is off the network again.

I tried the workaround on my other computer and also did not find the subkey
PostSPUpgrade.

And here is the properties from the error event:
