Okay I'm having problems getting a networked printer to run from my new
Toshiba Satellite laptop running Vista Home Premium.

I keep getting local spooler subsystem has crashed when I try to run the
printer. This happens if I try to connect to it via the Network (printer is
usually on a desktop running XP Home Pro) or if I directly connect it to the
laptop.

Is there a fix for this? This is my first experience with Vista and it's
annoying :P

Thanks
Lori

Did you first download Vista drivers for the printer from the printer
mftr.'s website? If not, you need to do this. What printer make/model?
