Windows 10 Print spooler error after update to Version 2004 of Windows 10

[JayNewsome]

Since my system was updated to the 2004 version of Windows 10, I am unable to print. In doing a test, I got a message that there was print spooler error at the print server. Is there a fix for this problem? Is Microsoft planning to do an update to correct the problem which seems to be widespread.

PC I am printing from (and which got the Version 2004 update): Asus Zenbook Pro
Printer make and model: Canon imageCLASS D530
Connection: Printer is connected by cable to the server, which is another computer, a Lenovo ThinkPad. I use a Wifi connection to the network for the Zenbook.
Complete error message (from when I attempt a test page): "Operation could not be completed (error 0x000006ba) The server print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler on the server or restart the server machine."

Restarting the server/computer doesn't affect anything. I have always used the ThinkPad as the print server without this issue.
