Re: Add Printer Wizard and Spooler Subsystem

No I haven't used system restore since this problem has existed for some time
and numerous OS updates and product updates have been applied to the system.
I need a solution that doesn't require a system reimage.

Reinstalling Service Pack 2 won't make a difference. Alan is referring to
the System Restore feature, I believe.

Alan,
I did not have a Lexmark printer installed and I did uninstall the HP
drivers using the HP uninstall program. I believe the faulty module is
located in the DLL, localspl.dll.
I tried re-installing SP2 and that didn't work, now the spooler subsystem
error appears on system load and the service won't run for more than a
minute.

The next step after that is system restore or debug the spoolsv.exe
process
and find the faulty module.

I've tried everything I can find on the net.
1.Deleted all spooler temp files
2.Cleaned registry settings
3.Ran cleanspl.exe

My system will not install a printer from the Add Printer wizard or if
I
use
the HP printer driver install program the "spooler subsystem" error is
displayed.
The spooler service is running. The Lexmark and HP services and
drivers
have been removed from the system. Essentially the system should be
clean
of
any old printer driver info.

What other solutions exist? I've tried everything found from a search
on
google for "spooler subsystem".

Thanks!
