Spooler subsystem app closed 2

I can't print with my usual printer. Borrowed another, can print without problem.

I'd hoped installing the second printer fixed the spooler problem, but it didn't.

Any suggestions? I have to give back the borrowed printer.

DEP is a MS feature that should protect your PC, but you can disable it.
First, try to repair it, if that doesnt help, disable it.

I've had a similar error, sorta. Was an HP Color-something, that made the spooler subsystem crash on a regular basis. Afair I uninstalled the driver (using registry) and then updated it to the newest one.

Might be worth a try.
