Somehow my wireless printing capability evaporated. I
could print at 9 pm and then unable to print the following
8am. I have checked the host computer and it shows that
the printer is shared, have checked the laptop to find the
same thing. When I try to go into printer properties from
my laptop to check things out, it states that I can't have
access because "the printer service pool is not running".

Any thoughts? Thanks!
 
You say: "From the command prompt, type net start spooler

That sounds like an old DOS command. How do you get to the command prompt

(I get print sprooler error also, but when I go through Administrative Tools to the Print Spooler Properties, the Services Status indicates that its is already started)
 
i tried the net start spooler.. and it gave me another error..it said it did not start.. because of some dependency or something..
 
In XP, Go to Start, Programs, accessories, choose command prompt
