Printer Spooler Service Failing Over and Over

Hello,

We have an old workstation in our domain.  We just updated it to Vista SP2 Build 6002 from SP1.

After the update the printer spooler subsystem service fails over and over.

We have removed the printers, deleted the files from spooler folder.

Event 7031 errors when the spooler service crashes.

Most of our environment is 7 but we have this old pc for one basic user, all he does is use gmail and print.

Just wanted to keep them going without issues until we replace the machine quarter 4 of this year.

I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:

Not enough information to confirm an answer.
I object to closing this without awarding any points. All experts who responded except the 1st expert recommended updating drivers. The last expert even provided guidance on renaming the last driver loaded in the crash which is a great idea. Just because the author didn't respond with feedback after trying a suggestion, that does not mean a solution was not provided to determine the root cause or provide a fix that would resolve this situation for the author. I suggest splitting points 25, 25, 50%.
