printer spooler

[ralph rogers]

Tonight I am unable to print. When I went to the printers
and faxes part of control pannels I found 2 copies of my
printer. When I attempted to delete a printer I received
the error message "Operation cannot be completed. Print
spooler is not running." I started the print spooler in
the administrative portion of the control pannels, and it
indicates that the spooler is nunning. I attempt to delete
a printer and I again get the error message. I go back to
the Administrative window and the spooler is not running.

How do I fix this.

I would clear out any temp files in c:\Windows\System32\Spool
and also reinstall your printer drivers again.
