Spooler Error - Windows cannot connect a shared printer on XP Pro.
Greetings,
When trying to connect to a shared Brother Laser (HL-2040) from a Windows Vista machine (upgraded from XP Pro) over a wireless network I get the following error:- "Windows cannot connect to the printer. The server print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler on the server or restart the server machine." The printer is a USB Windows GDI device that works fine on both XP and Vista as a local printer. Prior to the upgrade to Vista the machine could print to the printer under XP. Other shared files and folders work fine. Guest, Anonymous and Network all have print rights. Firewalls both set to allow Microsoft File and Printer Sharing. I have Googled and scanned these newsgroups and found others with similar problems. Has anyone found a solution yet? -- Regards, Neale NOON

Spooler Error - Windows cannot connect a shared printer on XP Pro.
Hi,
had a similar problem with the spooler service. After I deleted and recreated the user profile for the affected users, everything is working a-ok. It seems as if there are some information stored within a migrated user profile which do not work that well with the new spooler service. cheers Martin "noonie" wrote: Greetings, When trying to connect to a shared Brother Laser (HL-2040) from a Windows Vista machine (upgraded from XP Pro) over a wireless network I get the following error:- "Windows cannot connect to the printer.

Spooler Error - Windows cannot connect a shared printer on XP Pro.
It was happening for me too, now it's ok. What I did was: - Control Panel Administrative Tools Services Find "Print Spooler", right-click, Start. After doing this try to install the network shared printer again. For me worked well.
