Windows 10: Printer Queue Torture

Printer was mostly working when upgraded to Windows 10 in January.

Increasingly needed to Restart the Printer Spooler to get it to work.

Or Restart everything.

Now it just keeps getting a queue print spooling error.

Sometimes Restarting everything has worked, but not today.

Drivers, etc. everything is updated.

Troubleshooter in Win 10 useless.

Help!

:)

In the Anniversary Edition of Windows 10 there is a new category called PRINTER QUEUES. Does this take the place of the PRINTER listing, and if it does why did they change the name of it?
