Default Not A Normal Printer Problem


I do not have a printer hooked up or ever loaded onto my laptop and do
not plan on doing so. I read that to print to file that the Microsoft
XPS Document Writer should remain as the "Printer" even though one is
not installed.
In the Event Viewer I constantly get "SpoolerWin32SPL" Warnings with an
event ID of 4. I checked the cures at Microsoft and they all pertain to
having a real printer. I suspect that I could shut down all spooler and
print activities but I'm not sure that I might not be affecting
something else by doing so.
Any suggestions by anyone who may have had this problem or seen this
same issue in writing?
Thanx,
Frag

If you're not using the XPS Writer (installed with Office) then disable it.

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a shot. Just thought I read to keep
the XPS active for documents, but I really don't use it.
