Print filter pipeline host has stopped working

Question
-
I hope somebody can help me on this. we are having a terminal Server which is running in Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition on which we had installed 12 printers, so now the thing is we are getting an issue with the printing. and the spooler service is giving multiple errors. the error details are as follow :1) Spooler Subsystem App has stopped working, 2) Print filter pipeline host has stopped working, 3) Microsoft Spooler subsystem is not responding etc. can anyone suggest me to resolve this issue for permanently.
H had replaced all the printer drivers with new but it works for up to 15 to 25 days max and it is repeating with same scenario.

See if there is a common binary causing the failures. Here's what you need to pull out of the event log to determine this. http://www.papercut.com/kb/Main/TrackDownFailingPrintDrivers
I suspect the Easy Print driver just due to the printfilterpipelinesvc.exe failures.
I don't know the best remote desktop printer redirection settings when the machine is not a print server but there are other people here who can provide some guidance.

Hi,
I suppose those error message appeared on the client where users want to print something.For error “spooler subsystem app stopped working’ “,
Please check if LPD and LPR are selected in Windows features, then add your printer driver again.
