Thank you , sir.
This post answered a question, I had logged back in, to pose.
In my situation, there was no need to 'Disable', this, apparently.
My ignorance. No other excuse.
Just wanted to take measures to be secure.

@bro67
Should I go back into Group Editor, and set this back from 'Disabled', to 'Not Configured'? or simply, leave it be?
Single desktop PC, hardwired behind router (no wifi). Have a USB connected printer, but never use it. System specs up to date.
Apologies for bothering you.

I welcome anyone else to answer, as well.
Thank you.

I would leave it be, make sure your firewall on the computer and router are not wide open, machine is up to date.
Thank you, @bro67.
I appreciate your detailed reply.
I'll leave it be, as you suggest. Everything else is good to go.
Best regards.

A second opinion saying Windows home users don't need to worry about this too much:
Print Nightmare is going to be a nightmare @ AskWoody
I've found it most confusing to understand whether home users need to disable to service or not. Disabled it, then decided to re-enable it based on what I read here and the above link.

You're not alone, buddy. I too, found it confusing.
As for me, I disabled it. No biggie to revert, should I need it in the future.
Take care.

Question for youse guys about disabling "Allow print spooler to accept client connections":
My other computers use my printer on wi-fi in my home LAN. Do you know whether this setting in GP will make it impossible for them to (remotely) print on my printer?

Never mind. In GP at the setting in question, I find this:
"When the policy is disabled, the spooler will not accept client connections nor allow users to share printers. All printers currently shared will continue to be shared."
