Problem deleting printer
Hello,
XP will not let me delete one of the Auto created HP network printers. The properties cannot be displayed, and it keeps warning the the print spooler service is not started. I verified that it was started (even restarted it) and got the same errors. When I tried to delete it, it would physically remove itself from the screen, but would come back moments later. Any ideas? ~ Joe |

Problem deleting printer
Besides stopping the print spooler on the local PC, you need to either
change permissions on the network printer that the local PC is finding or in Windows Explorer, from the Toolbar, select Tools, Folder Options.... and in the View options, UNCHECK the box for Automatically search for network folders and printers. If this box is checked, all XP will do is automatically reinstall it everytime. -- Cari MS-MVP Windows Technologies - Printing/Imaging/Hardware www.coribright.com "Joe" wrote in message ...
