Service Control Manager

Everytime a user logs on to an XP computer, they are unable to print and the
printers disappear. I found many posts that addressed the issue of cleaning
up the printer drivers and making sure that the correct drivers are used.
But, this is still an issue. I have also done a sfc /scannow, which also did
not address the issue.

When logged on as an administrator, this is easily dealt with by adding a
batch file to the startup, which will start the spooler service when the user
logs on. But, for normal users this isn't a viable solution.

The Event Viewer message (shown below) indicates that the service control
manager (SCM) stops the spooler at start up, which, according to the event
id, is correct. On some computers I found that the service is then started
immediately after it was stopped, with the same event id.

My question is: How can I stop the SCM from stopping the spooler in the
first place or, if it is necessary for the spooler to be stopped at startup,
how can I get the SCM to start the spooler again on behalf of a normal user?

Any help will be much appreciated.

I added some more details below.

Assumptions:
XP Professional SP1 or 2
Logged on as any user (local or domain)
Any permissions - from users to domain admins

When logging on to the computer, the following event occurs:
