Printer help

[volnSC]

Hey guys my printer just started acting up on me tonight and I have no idea how to fix the darn thing. I can't do anything at all to it. It want let me print, view the properties or delete and reinstall it. Whenever I try any function it says "print spooler service is not running." Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Don't know what you're running. For XP--

Start>control panel>performance and maintenance>administrative Tools>Services>scroll down to print spooler>right click it>click properties>make sure you are on the general tab>go down to startup type and make sure its on automatic>then hit apply>then click the start button under the service status>apply again>hit OK.

Exit all of the services and administrative tools and go to where your printer and faxes are located and now try to install a printer or try to print.

Good advice from Sly and if that don't work try to reinstall the print drivers
