Spools.exe problem

by murugappan.ramu . Updated 16 years, 9 months ago

Hi,
Whenever i try to open any word document(2007 version),Its getting hangged. I checked in task manager, Spoolsv.exe is taking more than 80% of cpu usage. We r sharing a printer .
If i disconnect that printer, its working fine .
I searched in Google and i tried this .
I stopped print spooler service and i deleted
all the files in C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS, then i started the print spooler service and i Mapped that shared printer.
It worked fine for 2 days.after that again i am getting the same problem.
Kindly give me a solution for this.
Is there any registry settings available to decrease the cpu usage of spools.exe?
