This can take hours if you spend ages adjusting settings - but the only solutions that always works are:
Windows 95
Update the SPOOLSS.DLL file in the \Windows\System directory. For Windows 95 the original version should be 4.00.950, it should be replaced with 4.03.1212 or higher. This file is available from Microsoft support and is also included with later releases of Windows 95. You may have this file on another Windows 95 system. Check the file version of the SPOOLSS.DLL file by right clicking on it, select properties and then selecting the version tab.

Windows 98
Update the SPOOLSS.DLL file in the \Windows\System directory. Microsoft has not released an updated DLL for Windows 98. However Network Associates have tested the SPOOLSS.DLL file from Windows Millennium Edition (version 4.90.0.3000) on Windows 98 (and 98SE) and found that is file not only functions properly but also resolves nearly all Spool32 invalid page fault errors.
This fix is just brilliant and it's cured every machine I've ever seen with spool32 errors, daft as it sounds.
