I have a similar problem as the previous poster. I have an Epson R280
installed on the local machine and a Canon iP 4000 on a LAN. This problem
just started a couple of days ago. At startup, I get the error message a
couple of times that the spooler subsystem app had a problem and needed to
close. I restart it manually with no apparent problem, but when I attempt to
open the printers folder it crashes again. This happens whether the printer
is turned on or off.

I have not installed or uninstalled any printers in several weeks. The only
changes to my system in recent days was an automatic update to Adobe Reader.
Could that be the problem?
