Disappearing Printer

[AJ in Alabama]

I am suddenly having the same problem!! when I try to
activate the new printer wizard, I get the "operation
could not be completed" message too!! This appears to be
the result of some tweaking of the services... I re-set
them back to original settings, but still no way to reset
my printers! Hope someone out there can help!
Thanks!
AJ

Surely you read the reply above yours by Alan? Did you try that first?

From the command prompt, type

sfc /scannow

(note the space between the c and the /). At the end of the System File
Checker (the sfc in the command) reboot. Now try the Install Printer Wizard
again.
