Question : spoolsv.exe is taking 50%CPU all the time

The spoolsv.exe is always taking about 50% CPU.

I have checked c:\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS.  There was not any file in the PRINTERS folder

My computer has McAfee Internet Security. It's up to date and working well; no trojan, virus, or worm infected on the computer.

I don't know why spoolsv.exe is taking 50%CPU all the time


Any advice for this issue

Thanks very much in advance

Answer : spoolsv.exe is taking 50%CPU all the time

Yup that's exactly what I was looking for.

Basically your prints are going through another PC/Server called "ccprint01" and the printer name is "printer4"

in other words ccprint01 has total control of the printer and the print jobs that it's processing. But this doesn't answer our question why your print spooler service is running so high. It could be a local problem or a problem with the ccprint01

Let's do this, delete all your printers and see if the spoolsv.exe will drop it's CPU use. Then start adding one printer at a time and see when your problem starts.

Your problem could simple be one of the 4 printer drivers that is causing the issue.
