Hello,
I could use some input here as everything I've tried so
far hasn't worked. Here's the situation:
I have WIN 2000 Pro. I have a laserjet and a Zebra LP2844
thermal printer that I use to print my fedex labels off
fedex.com's ship manager program. I haven't had any
problems in the past going between the two printers.

The other day I started getting the following error
message whenever I tried to print from the fedex ship
manger program to my Zebra: "Spoolsv.exe has generated
errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to
restart the program. An error log is being created."
When I look in my printers file, I notice that all the
printers have been eliminated and when I click on "Add
Printer" I get the message "Our of Resources...." What
I've then done is to delete the 2 or 3 SHD files in
System32/spool/printer, reboot, and then all the printers
are back. However, when I try to print again to the
Zebra, the same problem happens.

I spoke with fedex.com customer support at length, at the
end of which they determined that it must be a Windows
problem and basically they hung up on me. With their
help, I had already reinstalled JAVA VW 1.4.1_02, deleted
my cookies, & reinstalled the Zebra driver. All to no
avail.

So that's my situation. This is a real disaster for me as
I run my own company and desperately need to print the
labels so I can ship tomorrow. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thank you.

Dena
