Printing spool problem

[Ramesh]

HI,

I use an HP Laserjet printer on WinXP Prof. When i fire a print job, i can
see the job in the queue but it does not print. The only way i found to
print that job, is to restart the system. When the system reboots and i log
on, then the job gets printed.

what could be the problem? Now the strange thing is that sometimes it
prints fine without a restart.

Thanks for any support.

Ramesh,

When it doesn't print is the PRINT SPOOLER service running?

START | RUN | Type 'services.msc' (without quotes) & press ENTER

Is the sevice set to Automatic/Started?

Instead of rebooting you can right-click the Print Spooler service & RESTART it.

Have you uninstalled, rebooted & re-installed the printer?

Is the printer driver using the correct port?

Update driver may also solve the issue too
