HELP! Print spooler service is not running
-----Original Message----- Hi, everyone, I tried adding a Canon Multipass L6000 printer (also functions as a fax and copier) to my new Compaq Evo N1015v laptop that runs Windows XP Professional. Ever since I installed the driver, the print spooler service has been messed up. Not only has the Multiplass not been able to print from the laptop, but every time I try to view any printing properties (i.e. Server Properties under the File menu in "Printers and Faxes") or try to delete the printer, I receive an error message that says "The print spooler service is not running." So I can't even view any of the settings let alone change them. Additionally, every time I start Windows I get repeated messages about a problem with the printer subspooler system (or something, sorry, I don't quite remember) and it keeps popping up dialog boxes about sending the error report to Microsoft. You can imagine that this is more than a little annoying. I tried starting in Safe Mode and viewing the settings from there, but I still received the same types of error messages. Could somebody please please help me or at least point me in a helpful direction? I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Jennifer . From start run type net start spooler your printers should reapear. |
