spooler subsystem app

[zvinki]

I accessed my company's server remoptely and attempted to print while logged
on. I received an error telling me that the printer was unavailable. This is
OK since I am working 450 miles from the server and don't need the printout
locally.

When I logged off the server and resumed working on my computer and tried to
print to my trusty printer, I got a message that print spooler service is not
running. I researched and found out that I can manually turn on this service
by typing net start spooler. This seemed to work for about 5 seconfds when a
new message came up stating "spooler subsystem app has encountered a problem
and needs to close...".

Is anyone familiar with this problem and how to resolve it? I tried a system
restore but it did not work.

Hi: I've suffered from these spooler problems.I solved my problems eventually
by physically discoonecting my printer completely,followed by de-programming
all my printer software.in safe mode.Re-booted,re-connected and Bingo.
