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

Printer Spooler
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.

Printer Spooler
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 ...
