Printer Hell

I've spent way to much time fiddling with printers...
Some good things I've come across:

Need to remove print drivers from a windows 7 computer?
Enter CMD as admin
printui /s /t2
remove those printer drivers.

I've recently had a few computers that have the spooler crash when trying to print, add, or remove printers.
If you go to \windows\system32\spool there will be a few folders
drivers
PRINTERS
prtprocs
SERVERS
tools

Remove all the files from PRINTERS and SERVERS and see if the spooler stays steady.  It did for me.
