Add Printer does not work
When I try to ADD PRINTER I ger an error message saying,
OPERATION COULD NOT BE COMPLETES. I went to SERVICES to check PRINT SPOOLER. It is set to automatic but the STATUS column is blank. When I try to start it I get the following message... "Could not start the Print Spooler on local computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start." I loaded a LEXMARK print driver for a customer to troubleshoot their printer. (My computer will never see a lexmark printer again, God willing.) I got a little aggressive getting rid of the elusive print drivers and deleted the folder that it was in in WindowsSystem if I remember correctly. Please advise... Thanks. |

Ah, the infamous 1068. Disconnect the printer from the PC.... follow Bruce
Sanderson's instructions on how to COMPLETELY uninstall the printer and pay very careful attention to his steps 14 through 16. http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm After cleanup, restart the PC. Download a new set of drivers from www.lexmark.com. Install the software and do not reconnect the printer until the software tells you to do so. -- Cari MS-MVP Windows Technologies - Printing/Imaging/Hardware www.coribright.com "Kevin" wrote in message ...

I failed to mention that I do not want to reinstall a local printer but a home network computer. Thanks! Kevin I loaded a LEXMARK print driver for a customer to troubleshoot their printer.
