   I don't think so.  From what he describes it only happens when =
starting to print from IE.  From the description it doesn't sound as if =
it even gets to the point of printing, just enumerating printers.  Since =
other apps can print fine it is not a static problem like just having a =
DLL installed.

  It's probably a DLL hell problem. (IE may have updated a DLL the =
printer driver couldn't take.)

       I still disagree.  He stated that the print spooler process =
crashed.  IE doesn't run in the print spooler process.

      Since you already tried a driver change I'd agree -- something in =
IE must
      have broke.
