printer problems
After upgrading my machine to vista business from xp pro all my installed
printers disapeared. Trying to add the printers back using add printer from the priners folder produces the error message below. 'Windows can't open add printer. The local print server service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine' After starting the above service and trying again I get the same error message. Looking at the service, I find that the service has stopped again. This happens every time, any help would be appreciated. TIA Dave |

I too am having this problem. I feel like just loading XP onto this brand new
HP laptop. Any help would be appreciated. Rodney "dave" wrote: After upgrading my machine to vista business from xp pro all my installed printers disapeared.
