Hi, Folks - Unable to print anything. PRinter Spooler service does not
respond. I've restarted the print spooler service in administrative tools
several times, bit it will not allow me to print anything or to view
propertiies, add a printer, nothing.

"Server Properties cannot be viewed. The local print spooler service is not
running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine."

thanks
 
Hi, Cari, thanks for your reply. When running that command, we get "The
request service has already been started." I've attempted several times to
re-start it under adminitrative tools/services.

Keep me posted if there is fix to this. Thanks much.

You have a corrupted printer driver in there somewhere..... try blitzing
them as per Bruce Sanderson's site at:
http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

Should you get a 1068 Service or Dependency error, see steps 15 through 17
at the bottom of that page.

Hi, Cari. Sorry I could not respond sooner. The site had an issue regarding
logging-in. the steps worked great. Could not get into the server properties
and delete the drivers there; however, deleting from the registry worked!
thanks much.:)
