Printer spooler spoolsv.exe crashes after user logon

I'm facing problem with printer spooler on Windows 2008 R2. After user logon via RDP with printer redirection, process spoolsv.exe crashes with error:

This error makes redirected printers in all terminal session offline.
Client is using Windows XP.

Best Answer

My bet would be one of the redirected printers using an incompatible, out-of-date or just plain malformed driver. Try removing the all client's printers, then adding them back one by one, until you figure out which printer driver's causing the problem, then update or remove the problem driver.
