    Hi,
    I too have this problem, it seems to started back in March when I tried to
    install the VISTA drivers my DELL 920 and 922 all in one printers.

    I have removed them and also run the DELL cleanup utility but the spooler
    dies occasionally. I have run Windows defender full check and full virus
    scan, all come up clean.

    Today I installed a new Canon ip2500 printer which is working fine so far
    although I did have to restart the spooler 3 times during the installation.

    Regards,

    Peter West UK

    Cari

    I have 3 printers that I assume are virtual.
    ADOBE PDF, Family Tree Maker Printer and Microsoft XPS Document writer. Is
    one of these the problem and how do I resolve the problem?

    Check for updates for Acrobat with Adobe, if none of them, uninstall Acrobat
    and reinstall. Same with Family Tree Maker Printer. If you don't use the
    XPS Document writer, disable (or delete) it. Keep trying until you find the
    'bad' printer.

    Re: Spooler SubSytem App has stopped working (windows vista)

    Cari

    I removed the 3 virtual printers yesterday, however the Family Tree Maker
    Printer reappeared once I started the application. A few instances of
    spooler failure but most of the time was OK and I was able to use my new
    canon ip2500 printer that I installed on Tuesday. NB The spooler issues go
    back to March and that is when I tried to install the new Dell Vista
    drivers. There are references to the Dell printers in the registry and Vista
    tries to start a Dell program (dlbkmgr.exe) from a folder in program files
    which no longer exists. I found this after running HiJackThis.

    This morning (Friday) I had continual spooler fails, I had to regularly
    restart the spooler manually using Services. The FTM printer was there still
    but sometime the printer folder was empty and info only re-appeared when I
    restarted the spooler which then died. Unable to delete the FTM printer as
    it requires spooler to be running to do it, catch-22.

    I shut the machine down as I was going out and when I started it again 2
    hours later so far no spooler errors! I have deleted the FTM printer and
    this worked, I now have just 2 printers showing the canon and an HP DeskJet
    840C/841C/842C/843C which is at my house in France so is not connected.

    I would also add that on some occasions over the 2 weeks my PC has not
    started correctly, it stops after logging on requiring a reboot and safe
    mode option. Most cases I opted for full start except that last week it
    would not start at all and I had to do a system restore which seems to have
    solved this problem.

    Any ideas please, sorry to be a trial.
