Spooler maxing out cpu

[Jeremy]

I have a pc that i am working on for a company with an amd processor with about 256 MB of ram with xp pro. It has a HP printer that is the same type everyone else has but this one has the spool service at 70 + all the time and the cpu is at 100%. I have se
en many people with the same problem on the net. As soon as the service is stopped the cpu goes to 10 % or less. Is there a fix or patch?
