LaserSpooler is the type when the printer has been captured by Apple's Print
Spooler.  It is not a Good Thing(tm) to change this back without finding
out "who dun it", and punishing them severely ;-)

As to changing it -- just turn the printer off and then back on.  At least
that's what I used to do if the print server ever crashed (which was rarely).
