Print spooler problem, error 1058

Michael, Understand first, that I am not a technician and have had no
training, except trial and error. I have learned a lot of things about
computers and resolutions, but it's still from trial and error keep in mind.
I solved my spooler problem, but along the way I've later created another
with XP. But a friend once told me to repair XP, and use the second repair
prompt, as the first uses System Recovery. Nothing is lost but XP errors are
repaired when you use the second repair and it rewrites the software. That
is how I started the print spooler service, after running the second repair
option off the XP Software CD. I ran it, after Lexmark told me it was a
system error and call the manufacturer, I got to thinking if it's a system
error, I can repair the system software but running the repair, so I did.
Afterwards, I checked the service and it was running. Hope it works for you!
Good Luck! Delores

printers are currently installed, whatever happened wiped them out. I cannot
add a printer because the spooler will not start. I get a 1058 error,
"service cannot be started because it is either disabled or it has no enabled
devices" I have tried to start it manually, and the HP printer software has
tried to fix the problem, but so far, nothing. I have uninstalled the HP
printer software, started the dependencies it said it needed, tried
everythign HP suggested, and stillnothing. The probelm is in my windows XP,
but I have no idea how to get the spooler to turn on.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Michael, did you try repairing the XP software with the CD, as I suggested.
You first have to go to the boot options, and have it boot by CD instead of
the default process, the restart with the original XP OS CD in the drive and
it will automatically start off the CD. At the first prompt for repair, hit
any key to continue, otherwise hit R to repair under the System Recovery
option, which you do not want to do. A couple of screens later it asks again
do you want to repair, here you say yes, and it rewrites the XP Software over
the original. It seems you are installing the original software, but you
don't lose anything as when you reformat, and you will have corrected the
spooler problem when you are finished. This is how I got the spooler serv.
started. Maybe I didn't explain well enough before, but maybe this is
clearer.

I get the 1058 error wwhen I try. I did go through all the steps outlined in
the microsoft link. That was one of the things HP asked me to do, and it did
get me out of the 1068 errors I had been getting. I posted that if I enable
the only hardware profile listed, I get a 1075 error.

Still get problem. remove all HP Printer drivers from control Panel.

uninstall utility but still can't do anything

I had the 1068 errors too, and cleaned that up. I eliminated the 1068
errors, not I have the 1058. I am lost now.

Steps 15 through 17 and I'm betting it's a 1068 error, not a 1058.

finally found the solution (after alot of hard work, among Win XP
repair with no luck)...
