"Faulting application spoolsv.exe" Windows Vista Business Edition

[Victor Kam]

One of my system in the network is facing a problem with printers. There are two printers which are configured on the network. They are HP LaserJet 1020 and a Xerox DocuColor 250. This are shared and accessible to all. Now when I try to print I am getting a error Faulting application spoolsv.exe. I tried to restart the pc also but still the error is same. While others can print well and there is no problem at all. Does anyone knows how to fix this.

The issue lies with spoolsv.exe service. Go in Administrative Tools > Services and look for printer spooler service. Check that is running. Configure it on automatic mode and then test back. I am sure this will fix the problem that you are facing. You can do that through cmd also. Type the following net stop spooler in cmd and hit enter. Then type net start spooler and then again hit enter.
