Windows 2000 operating system, HP 1500L Laserjet printer. Sometimes (not all the time) when I try to print, I get an error message - spoolsv.exe error. When I reboot, I can then print for several times then I get the same error message again. I was advised to check disk for errors, run disk cleanup, and defrag which I did, but I am still getting the error message.
Any ideas are appreciated?
Thanks!

What is the exact full error message?

Here are a couple pages from Microsoft:

Here is a broader search:

http://www.google.com/search?q=spoolsv.exe%20error

Also your post at HP:

Exact error message - Spoolsv.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows.
Thank You for your help.
