My Experience:I was getting constant Print Spooler Errors from my printer (Espon Stylus C88+) which was functional, since I had installed the printer prior to experiencing the error.
Source: Print Spooler
Event ID 73
The print spooler failed to verify printer driver package Microsoft XPS Document Writer for environment Windows NT x86. Win32 system error code 2 (0x2). This can occur after an operating system upgrade or because of data loss on the hard drive. The print spooler will try to regenerate the driver information from the driver store, which is where drivers are saved before they are installed. No user action is required.

The Cause:I was one of many who regret listening to another blog's advice about clearing disk space on your hard drive. I deleted the FileRespository folder which contains many of the drivers and files necessary to get "older" devices to work.
The Fix:I am lucky enough to have two systems with the same OS, so I was able to copy all of the files I needed exactly from my laptop to my desktop. I understand that many people won't have that advantage. The best choice if you do have access to another computer with the same operating system is to copy the files located in "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository" from that computer to the one experiencing issues. Or you can just copy the specific ones you need, butyou may experience issues down the road.
If you do NOT have an extra computer on hand with the same OS, you could probably use your Vista DVD to restore the files that were missing. I hope you can do it without reinstalling the OS completely. I couldn't find any when I was searching, but you could probably find copies of the folders in that
My Results:
I recieve no more Print Spooler Errors.
