XP Pro spoolsv.exe uses 50%CPU for over 5 minutes after a print cammand has been sent to any printer.
Hello
I have several Windows XP Pro computers on a domain that once we print to any printer the spoolsv.eve process absorbs 48-50% CPU for 5-25 minutes. I have cleaned my print spool using Microsoft's tool cleanspl and have checked my WINDOWS/system32/spool/pri nters for invalid printers and drives.
Any one have any suggestion on how to resolve this issue?

Ok, that wasnt as clear as I was hoping for. Was hoping to see something more obvious.....
"win32spl.dll!InitializePr intProvido r"
Do you have any errors in the System log that expands on this entry?
All systems affected on SP3?
Im gonna go out on a limb, and see if you have any non standard Print Providers...
reg query "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM \CurrentCo ntrolSet\C ontrol\Pri nt\Provide rs" /s
Post the output please....
"win32spl.dll!InitializePr

Ok the affected systems are on SP2
Here are the reg query results you requested, these are the only two entries that exsist under providers.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ CurrentCon trolSet\Co ntrol\Prin t\Provider s\LanMan Print Services
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ CurrentCon trolSet\Co ntrol\Prin t\Provider s\Internet Print Provider
There is no system log that relates to win32spl.dll!InitializePri ntProvidor that I could find.
I hope this is helpful

Repalce the cables? Replace the USB Root Hub Drivers? Tried another USB Port on the machine? Try this printer on another machine?
