Does this also happen on Win 8.1 or 10? Please try, if you did not already.
Do the clients have all available updates applied?

Can you temporarily try it without spoolssd (remove the two lines).
Don't forget to restart smbd (restart, not reload in this case).

Can you try it with the following [printers] section:
[printers]
       path = /var/spool/samba
       printable = yes
       printing = CUPS

The other parameters in your [printers] section are either not necessary
or default.



I don't see any problem in your smb.conf. However, just for testing
purposes: Can you disable automatic printer sharing and manually share
one of the printers? See:
