| Print spooler service is not running
can't print - ok..I have 1 xp wireless laptop that i'm trying to print from...printing to a printer connected to another xp machine. I have been able to print as recent as a few days ago. both machines have been rebooted, printer is turned on. printer services is running, and set to automatic on both machines. i can no longer print from laptop, nor can i get to properties when i right-click on printer icon on laptop. I'm afraid to remove it for fear i will not be able to readd it. I can print to printer from local machine. |

Print Services is running but is the Spooler? From the command prompt, type Net start spooler |

Open run dialog and type Services.msc . I want you to visually confirm that the printspooler service is running in automatic mode and also make sure you UPnP services are also started. If you have no problems with other UPnP hardware installing though you can skip that step. unplug your printer and restart your computer. when restarted plug in printer and try again. Have you used this printer on WINXP before, as some (ALOT) of older printers are not compatible and have no valid drivers for WinXp. Refer this thread with same topic http://forums.techarena.in/vista-print-fax/624898.htm. Best of Luck. |
