AddPrinter Failed with 0x3EB

AddPrinter Failed with Status 0x3EB Event Log error 1116

I was generating this eventlog error on each of my logons. I was also having my ICA session disconnected. After monitoring my local workstation i could see my CPU spike to 100% at logon with the ICA client and spooler service using all the CPU. Then my session would disconnect.

I deleted the printer queue detailed in the eventlog from client device. I then remapped the same printer and logged back on all ok.I would think this a fairly isolated incident where possibly the driver has been changed on network printer server between me first mapping it and later mapping it.
