common causes of print spooler stop

* To remove spooled print jobs that could be causing this problem, simply remove (or delete) files with extensions of “.spl” or “.shd” from the Spool location while the Print Spooler is stopped. This location is generally “c:\<windows directory>\system32\spool\printers”
