Solve : why would spoolsv.exe be on task manager when printer is off?

Answer»

in fact not working so I never HIT print. Could this be a spyware? I have antivirus of course & run spybot all the time too. I just NOTICED this and it seemed odd SINCE I never print.
and does 69,000k seem a lot for Firefox to be using w/one window open, according to TASK manager? can hardly load anything from the net, pc works like molasses in jan & I'm looking for anything that can be causing this, started about 2 wks ago. got cable modem.spoolsv.exe is the Printer Spool service. If you click START, click on Run, type in services.msc and scroll down, you should see Print Spooler service.

It's on, no matter, if your printer is on, or not. It's ready, whenever you are ready for printing.Heck...it's on even if you don't have a printer ! !
