Printer Spooler
I'm trying to install my Printer Driver for Canon Pixma printer.
When I run the executable to install the driver, it come back with "Printer Spooler is not running, Restart Printer Spooler. So I re-start Printer Spooler under Admin. Tools. Then I try to run the executable again. And again the Printer Spooler is stopped. It seems the executable stops the Printer Spooler?? Help!!! I'm just trying to access my printer. Thanks |

That's the same as starting the Printer Spooler from Admin Tools.
To make a long story short, Microsoft Tech support said the driver was corrupted. When I originally wrote the problem, it was the fourth time I had downloaded the driver, and purged it from the Registry. I bought a new Canon. Problem solved. But why should I have to buy new hardware? After I installed new Canon the system would Blue screen alot. I started from scratch, reloaded everything, installed Service pack 1. As I sit here writing this it could Blue Screen. It happens from time to time.

The spooler service stopping is usually a result of corrupted drivers. The
correct way to uninstall a driver (and reinstall) is: http://www.coribright.com/windows/Article_One.htm Omitting Step 4 is the usual problem... all you end up doing if you omit Step 4 is reinstalling the older (and possibly corrupted) driver. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "Scooter" wrote in message ...
