Default Printer woes.


Starting Sunday I started getting these two messages while trying to
print: from Acrobat 9 "Unable to start print job. Is printer available?"
and from Firefox "Printer Error. An unknown error occurred while
printing." I thought it was my printer giving up the ghost so I bought a
new one today and yes it is installed and recognized by Vista, etc.

From Event Viewer:
The print spooler failed to verify printer driver package HP Photosmart
C4200 series for environment Windows NT x86. Win32 system error code 2
(0x2). This can occur after an operating system upgrade or because of
data loss on the hard drive. The print spooler will try to regenerate
the driver information from the driver store, which is where drivers are
saved before they are installed. No user action is required.

Could this be mobo related or driver related?

Try going to ctrl panelprinter and verify that the exact printer icon is
selected and is configure properly or else you might need to reinstall the
printer driver again
