Operation Could Not Be Completed Error

[Bill]

Printing used to work on my system. One day the printers
I had installed are gone and I get "Operation could not
be completed" error. The print spooler is not running so
I restart it and try again and the spooler dies and I get
the same message. Please help.

What message appears in the Event Viewer?

I have been using an Epson 740 for awhile now on XP proffesional. Everything has disappeared from the cpu. It says the spooler isn't working . when I try to add a printer the error code comes up saying , Operation could not be completed. What do I have to
do to fix this problem.

Start the print spooler.

From the command prompt, type

net start spooler

(and hit enter)
