My add printer wizard does not function. All the printer
icons that were there are not visible any longer either,
yet the printers are selectable in any application and
they work. Problem is I cannot load a new printer or
select the properties of a printer. Any idea what is
causing this?

Thanks,
 
Sounds like your print spooler has stopped. From the command prompt, type

net start spooler

(and remember to hit enter)

They should now reappear as if by magic!

"The requested service has already been started." no
magic on this one. I don;t think this is th espooler
stopping as I can print from any app. just can;t see the
printers in the printer window and I have administrator
rights.
