Hello,<br />
<br />
Been fighting this for sometime to no avail... We have a single Windows Server 2008R2 Ent ed print server with 71 shared printers on it, was running fine until I changed several GPO to map the printers to the computers not deloy by users. Its a school district and we had to many complaints about random printing etc.... <br />
<br />
After making that change, and updating a Savin 8060 MFP driver to their universal driver the spool will randomly stall and print manager will go unresponsive... I have gone through all the event logs and tried to find the coluprit but nothing,... the events I do see are as follows:<br />
<br />
Event ID 808, The print spooler failed to load a plug-in module c:\windows\system32\spool\<wbr />drivers\x6<wbr />4\3\dldopt<wbr />pc.dll error code 0x7e<br />
<br />
I went into the Drivers in Print manager, and made them all ISOLATED to eliminate conflicting or bad drivers taking down spool service, but that did not work.<br />
<br />
I also went into each printer and made sure they are all using winprint w/RAW for the print processor, still locking up<br />
<br />
<br />
Any assistance would be great!

Server 2008 R2 Ent Print Spool Randomly Locks Up

A printer is a peripheral which makes a persistent human readable representation of graphics or text on paper or similar physical media. Traditional printers are being used more for special purposes, like printing photographs or artwork, and are no longer a must-have peripheral; 3D printing has become an area of intense interest, allowing the creation of physical objects. An image scanner is a device that optically scans images, printed text, handwriting, or an object, and converts it to a digital image. Hand-held scanners, where the device is moved by hand, have evolved from text scanning "wands" to 3D scanners used for industrial design, reverse engineering, test and measurement, orthotics, gaming and other applications.

Printers and Scanners

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

A peripheral device is defined as a computer device, such as a keyboard or printer, that is not part of the essential computer (i.e., the memory and microprocessor). These auxiliary devices are intended to be connected to the computer and used in conjunction with it. Examples of external peripherals include mouse, keyboard, printer, monitor, external Zip drive or scanner, while internal peripherals include CD-ROM drive, CD-R drive or internal modem. Today's new devices, such as tablets, smartphones and wearable computing devices are considered peripherals as they can be connected and used on a computer system. The difference, however, is that these devices can run independently of the computer system.
