Printer on all the time
A friend of mine called about a trouble with his computer(XPsp3).He claims
that everytime he gets on the internet using IE8,his printer comes on and starts printing all the web pages. I googled,but I cannot find any references to this problem.He unplugged the printer from the computer,he still gets the same thing.He claims the trouble started when he got an email message from a Hotel.

Printer on all the time
Just in case the problem is still active: If the problem started after
receiving a message, the message may have carried a virus... so the computer should be scanned for virus or trojans. If the problem persists; Check the printers folder in: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\spool\PRINTERS, and delete all the files in that folder. Next go to Start\Printers and Faxes\double click on the Printer icon, and delete all queued files, next on printer properties, disable the queued files option. If still nothing;.. run CCleaner and delete all Temporary type files, be it user temp, system temp or Internet Temp files.... also stop the Print Spooler service in Start\Run\type: "services. msc" (no quotes) and Hit Enter... doble click on the Spoolers Stop and disable the Spooler service, restart the computer, next enable and restart the Print Spooler service. Final option; delete the printer, restart the computer and reinstall the printer and scan your computer for possible viral of trojan infection I've had this problem and solved it but don't know which of the options worked so I included all that I tried.... still something that works on one computer may not work on another, so I hope one works. ------------------------------------------------------------ "Roger Harrison" wrote in message ...
