Print spooling is about the only process windows uses to handle print jobs and it only starts when you send a job through the queue. Most of the problems created today are the additional software loaded with most home deskjets.
The services I had problems with from my lexmark software wouldn't let me close the process. My only solution was to uninstall it.
I miss the old days when all you had to do was install a driver and done. Too much unnecessary software bogging down the system only creates problems in the end.
