Print Spooler Service Stopped on Networked PCs
I have an HP Officejet 6310xi connected to a printer on a home network
running Windows XP 5.1.2600. It has worked fine for two weeks. Suddenly we are only able to print from the PC the printer is connected to. When I try to add the printer or view the printer properties on the other PC's I receive the message that the printer spooler service is not running. When I check the printer spooler service on the PC as well as the PC the printer is attached to, the printer spooler is active. I have stopped the printer spoolers and restarted them. I have rebooted the PCs numerous times. I reloaded spoolsv.exe on the PC the printer is attached to. HELP!! Any suggetions will be appreciated |

Print Spooler Service Stopped on Networked PCs
The PCs that are not connected to the printer have corrupted printer
drivers. Uninstall and reinstall the printer on those PCs. http://www.coribright.com/windows/Article_One.htm -- Cari (MS-MVP) Windows Technologies - Printing & Imaging http://www.coribright.com/windows "KSW81" wrote in message ...
