I don’t find myself interested in Windows very often, or any proprietary operating system for that matter, but I ran into this problem on one of the computers in our office and thought I would share the solution. If you come across the problem of spoolsv.exe using 99% CPU usage, never fear. There is a solution. And its a rather easy one. Click here for the fix. Thanks to Tim for his journal entry pointing this out.

I had this problem too (spoolsv.exe taking up 99-100% of cpu) and found your post.

I also found this post which explains the issue very helpfully,
