Printer spool hogging cpu on laptop to network server prin..

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)

In my experience, this is sometimes caused by a misbehaved printer driver.
When you add a network printer, the driver files still get installed onto
your machine. You may want to check with the manufacturer to see if this is
a known issue.
