Greetings!
Spool32 errors are a royal pain. No doubt about it.
Simply turn off spooling. In the days of older, slower processors that would almost grind to a halt when you were trying to print, spooling was almost essential. Now, it's benefits are hardly noticeable unless peopel are printing huge documents.
On each machine, go to Start|Settings|Printers and then select the default printer, right click, select properties, and go to the details tab. There you will find a button that says 'Spool Settings' Click on the button and deselect the radio button for pooling by selecting the radio button that says "Print directly to the printer"
Your errors will vanish and only the must grumpy users (the ones who complain about everything) will complain/notice the differenc in printing speed.
Humbly submitted,
diabetic
