A few days ago my computer failed to print, printer didn't react. When I

Seems the computer seems to need to sense the printer's availability while
it is booting.

I can live with turning on the printer first but I'm not too sure how often
this old man will remember to do this.

Any ideas?

I wonder if this has something to do with the state
the spooler is in ?

Do you have any documents "jammed" in the spooler queue ?

In Control Panels, open the Printers and check the
printer in question, to see if there is something
weird going on in there.
