I am baffled.

Brand new Dell WinXP Pro machine. Has been printing just fine the past couple of days. Nothing new has been done to it, when suddenly, magically all of a sudden...

Print spool subsystem crashes! Yay! I restart the service, it immediately crashes upon starting. I reboot the whole system, starts up with spooling service still stopped (note it's set to automatic). Restart the service after reboot, immediately crashes again!

So, no print spool subsystem. Why? No clue. Best clue I have is a mere Service Control Manager 7034 error.

Any ideas???
