Dissapearing printer... can't get it back
Yea, the subject says it all. One day, my printer just
dissapeared, and Windows says that I don't have one anymore. Whenever I try to use the 'Add Printer' wizard, it gives me a 'Operation could not be completed' error. I have Administrative access rights, and I've tried starting the spooler up mulitple times, but it just gives me the same message, almost like the Add Printer Wizard has been deleted off the PC (My PC has been known to spontaneously delete things, for no reason I can find). If this is the case, is there any way to get it back, short of formatting and re-installing? Thank you in advance for any assitance. |
