Steve,

Process Explorer will tell you which DLLS are loaded by spoolsv.exe.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/ProcessExplorer.mspx

Even though you installed the third party software you suspect is causing
the problem, parts of it may still be lurking.

I would proceed by removing all traces of third party software the Print
Spooler is using. Bill Sanderson provides instructons for this here:
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

This should eliminate the problem, but you won't have any printer drivers
installed :) Then you can reinstall the third party software you need and
see if it how it goes this time. Do it one at a time so that if problems
start, you will be able to blame the most recent part.

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.

localspl.dll is a Windows component, but just because it faulted, doesn't
mean it's "at fault" :)

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.

Did you run the Lexmark and HP uninstall applications specifically for
each
model installed

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!
