Cannot add printer?

I am using win2k, service pack 4 (recently updated).

When I try to "add printer", I get the message "Printer
operation cannot continue due to lack of resources. The
print subsystem is unavailable".

I have gone to services and made sure "Print Spooler" is
set to automatic and rebooted.

I am still getting the same error message.

Any suggestion?

If you can, that is if you have a suitable back up of your system, back out
to an earlier system state, ansd wait for someone for come up with a solution
to your problem. To judge from several complaints like yours, SP4 often makes
things worse. Sofar, I haven't read any fixes to SP4 induced problems like
yours..

Just out of curiosity, just why did you install SP4? IOW, what is it
suppoosed to fix? (My W2K Pro SP2 is working just fine as is, and I see no
point in fixing what ain't broke.)
