spoolsv hogging CPU time

Hello,
I have researched old topics and have seen this problem
discussed but have not seen a complete solution.

I check the usage of spoolsv and its using zero CPU time. Then
I open a report in design view. I click on File-Page Set Up. Still no
spoolsv problem. The instant that I click Specific Printer, spoolsv
starts using 100% of the CPU time. The same thing occurs if I try to
work on a report design that already is pointed at a specific printer.

Of course, doing a warm boot, or some options under Services
will stop it but how does it start? How can I avoid this problem? I'm
pretty sure we are up to date with all Service Paks.

Thanks,
Hank Reed

I had a problem with that about 9 months ago, and it turned out that a Windows
patch did fix it. I don't know if it could be the same cause for you or not.
I believe the bug fixed by the patch occurred when there were a large number
of printers availaible on the local network.

I should have mentioned in my original post that I am using Access
2000.

As I have continued to test this, the problem occurs much easier
than I thought. If I just print a report from Access that is
designated for a "Specific" printer, then spoolsv is off and running
using 100% of my CPU time.
I have seen a log of discussion here. Has anyone identified the
problem.
Thanks,
Hank Reed

Say, I want to set a cookie and have it expire an hour after it's set. It's looking like this is only possible for browsers which are in the same time zone as my server?? In other words, if I set my cookie with: setcookie('CookieName', $SomeValue, time()+3600, "/");

am I doing this wrong: print (time.time() / 60) / 60 #time.time has been running for many hours if time.time() was (21600/60) then that would equal 360/60 which would be 6, but I'm not getting 6 so I'm not doing the division right, any tips?

Today’s question involves two time text boxes each set to a different time zone. Initially txtCurrentTime will be set to Pacific Time or system time.

At first I tried ‘Now() – “xx:xx:xx” but that produced an error. Anyway as we approach the east coast the ‘minus’ would need to be a...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
