I want to know is it safe to use this command again and again? does it cause any bad affect on the printer? Hope you got what i'm asking? please let me know if there is any alternative method is exist. Thanks lot.

No , there is no harm in using both of the commands mentioned below:
net stop spooler
net start spooler
- net stop spooler - To stop the printer spooler queue.
- net start spooler - This command will "restart" it.

No it is the safest way to start or stop the printer spooler from a command line.
To Stop the spooler service.
- Go to command prompt Start --> Run --> CMD
- Type Net stop "print spooler" and wait for it to stop
Restart the spooler service.
- Go to command prompt Start --> Run --> CMD
- To Restart type Net start "print spooler"
