re: spoolsv.exe CPU usage 100% Duron Saturday, February 9, 2008 at 12:39 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Rob (1 messages posted) I've got a similar problem on my XP Pro running HP Omnibook nx6100 laptop. I have a HP8550DN printer on my network, and last weekend this laptop decided that the printer "wasn't there" anymore. I could see the printer's webpage, the management software on the laptop was quite happy working with the printer. I ran a reg clean, just in case there was a problem there. I deleted every printer, and attempted to re-install the driver. It happily installed all of the other printers on machines on our network. But now, when I try to install the HP8550, it just appears to freeze. The spoolsrv process is running at 90+%, the CPU fan has gone into overdrive. If I kill the process, the installation of the printer suddenly appears to be complete - would I like it to be my default printer? I click yes, the next, and up pops an error. IE: it didn't install it. I've run sfc /scannow with no problems reported. I've tried all of the "published" fixes - deleting temporary spool files, etc.. I still can't get this blasted printer re-installed on this laptop. Any ideas? Rob.
