Hello there, new boy here.

I really hope someone can help with a problem I`m having with my wife`s
laptop running Vista home.

We have a network printer which the laptop can see and connect to
(wireless), if I try and print anything the print starts and then stops
with the spoolsv.exe taking up just about all of the CPU. There are no
error messages the exe file just sits there hogging the CPU.

In the system32/spool/PRINTERS folder there is 1 SPL file and one SHD
file, there is nothing else in there.

This also happened when I tried to use the same printer (HP psc1355) as
a share from my XP PC.

If I plug the printer into the laptop (USB) it prints fine it just
seems to be a problem across a network.
