The service Print Spooler is preventing the machine from entering standby

Hi,

Normally when I close my laptop it automatically enters standby or hibernate mode. But these last days it gives me this error message instead:
"System standby failed
The service 'Print Spooler' is preventing the machine from entering standby. Try stopping this service and try again."
I have a Dell laptop with Windows XP on.
How do I stop this service and why did it even start?

Hope you can help,
David
