Can not remove Printer. Error 0x000006ba
I recently upgraded to VISTA pro from XP pro and went to reinstall my
printers, but I messed up somewhere and tried to delete the printers so I can start over. But everytime I try to do anything I get the error "Operation could not be completed (error 0x000006ba). The local print spooler service is not running." I went into services and made sure it was running (which it is), and restarted the spooler and my computer, but I still can't delete the printers or the drivers. Please help. Thank you very much. |

It may be started but I don't think it running from more than a couple
minutes. Look in the system event log for errors. Most likely the upgrade preserved some vendor printer information that is causing the spooler service to fail. What type of printer and how is it connected? -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
