printfilterpipelinesvc high CPU use

Hello,

I've recently noticed while viewing task manager that printfilterpipelinesvc.exe is regularly running as high as 30% CPU usage. From my brief searches I do not think it should be anywhere near this high. Can anyone help me with this?

I am concerned that this high CPU usage could be related to some malware or virus. I run both malewarebytes and windows defender.

I am a first time poster, please let me know what additional information you need from me regarding my PC, etc.

Regards,

Bob
