You can stop this service as it is useless most of the time. It "Loads files to memory for later printing". For stopping this you can go to
control panel> administrative tools> services> Print Spooler
double click> startup type> change from Automatic to Manual. ok. Restart your PC manually and ur done.

spooler.exe is the print spooler. Did you install a printer recently? It might be an incorrectly installed driver. Reinstall the printer.
If not, does a reboot solve the problem?
If not, go into control panel > administrative tools > services. Look for the print spooler and restart it. Does this solve the problem?
If not, go to http://download.microsoft.com and find and download service pack 2 (for IT professionals). This is a large download, install it and follow the instructions onscreen.
If that doesn't fix the problem I am out of ideas ;)

spooler.exe is well documented as memory leak program!
search microsoft for a fix... uninstall all printers that are not used and use only the correct drivers for the printer u are using...
