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 -- defrag1720 |

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. Frag -- defrag1720 |
