How to check if service spoolsv.exe is responding to requests without printing?

My friend's server has some problem with spoolsv service. While he is searching for a problem source, we need to make periodic service checks and restart service if it stops responding. I suppose the source of a problem is faulty printer drivers, but that needs investigation.

The question is how to check if this service is ok without attempting to print something. How can we 'ping' it?
