Printers won't open - control panel

[amaru96]

Hi guys, for some strange reason "Printers" won't open. I go into control panel, double click Printers and nothing. Just sits there. Task manager says "Control panel not responding". I can end the task and Windows works fine, but printers doesn't open.

Everything else in control panel works OK - just printers.

I tried stopping and starting the spooler service but that fails to stop too. A reboot has no effect.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Have you tried sfc /scannow
Scanned for Virus.
Have you tried setting "RESET COUNT" and "RESET SERVICE" to 0 on the recovery tab of the Print service.
And then there's this

Thanks a million! There must of been some driver in there causing the problem. All cleared and back like new.

Appreciate your help.
