Print Spooler Subsystem Error

Using Windows XP on both our desktop unit and our laptop. Also using a
wireless router. Both systems have been able to print to the HP DeskJet
that was directly connected to the desktop system.

Just bought a new HP DeskJet D2680 and installed it on the desktop unit.
Successfully added the printer to the laptop. When trying to print from the
laptop, the message we get is that the Spooler subsystem app has encountered
a problem and needs to close. Nothing seems to fix this problem.

We attached the HP DeskJet directly to the laptop and it prints just fine.
Cannot seem to fix the Spooler subsystem error.

Anyone know how to fix this problem?
