I am getting numerous spoolsv.exe errors in the event log under id 26:

Application popup: spoolsv.exe - Application Error : The instruction at "0x76154193" referenced memory at "0x000000ab". The memory could not be "read".


What can I do to resolve this?

Thank you,

Go to: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS and delete all the files you find in there. If that doesn't work, take note of all the installed printers and then delete them all. Right-click and click on Server Properties, delete all the drivers. Proceed with reinstalling all the printers again.

Are there any utilities that will scan the
printers and/or drivers so that I can manage
and update them centrally?

Thank you,

Also get the latest driver if you are planning to remove/add the printer.
