"The Print spooler service is not running"
I am running Window XP on my Gateway laptop.When I try to install my HP
printer, I get the message that "The print spooler services is not running." When I went to Services and scrolled down to Print Spooler, the Print Spooler Status was blank. When I tried to start the Print Spooler Service, I got the message "Could not start the Print Spooler on the local computer. ERROR: The dependency service or group failed to start." Thinking that some component of Windows XP is not installed, I inserted my Windows XP program disk and tried to install "Other Network File and Print Services." Midway in the installation, I get the error message: "An error occurred which prevented the Print Services or Unix component from being installed or removed. The error was 'The depending services or group failed to start . . . '" Have I given enough information for you to assist me in correcting this problem? |

"The Print spooler service is not running"
I would have gotten to you earlier if you'd posted in the XP Print_Fax
newsgroup! Follow the instructions at Bruce Sanderson's website at http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm Pay particular attention to steps 15 through 17.... even if you do NOT have a Lexmark printer (this is just where the error is most often seen). -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Client - Printing/Imaging and Hardware www.coribright.com "MIcrosoft Newsgroups" wrote in message ...
