That error means "ERROR_INVALID_LEVEL", which is *really* odd for a printer driver. Is this specific to one specific driver, or does any driver cause this? Which drivers have you tried if the latter is the case?
i have two printers but both of them have the same error
Dell Colour printer 1320c
Canon MF4380dn
i had this before and i reinstalled windows but now its happening again but i dont know why
Here's what I need then - download and extract procdump.exe from here to a temporary folder (C:\TEMP, for example), and also download and extract procmon.exe from here to a temporary folder (again, C:\TEMP).
Next, run procmon.exe to start logging. Then, as quickly as is possible, install one of the two drivers you mentioned again to reproduce the error. Once the error occurs (do NOT close or dismiss the error - leave it up on-screen!), as quickly as is possible click File > Save in the process monitor window. Click OK to save the file (the "Path" box will show you where the .pml file will be saved), and then close the process monitor window to stop the logging.
Next, open an elevated cmd prompt to C:\TEMP and run this command:
procdump -accepteula -mp spoolsv.exe
Once you have executed the above command and a .dmp file is created in the temporary folder, you can close the error.
Lastly, ZIP or RAR the resulting .dmp file and .pml file you just created, upload them somewhere, and provide a link so we can download and analyze.

i got this out of memory thing from procmon.exe
I edited my post - please re-read (I changed the steps a bit and added the links). I clicked the "Post" button on accident a bit too quickly first .
Got out of memory unable to allocate a memory blocksize of __________
when i opened process monitor
i know my computer is messed up
Yeah. See if you can at least do step 2 and get the .dmp file from procdump. Installing printer drivers is likely the least of your problems, though.
