Although he doesn't have a Zebra printer but other than
that the same issue applies. In addition, when I try to
restart the spooler service, I get the following error:

Error 1068 - Dependancy Services of group failed to start.

I discovered that the dependent service is PMObserv.
When I attempt to start this service I get this error
message:

Error 2: the system cannont find the file specified.

The file named in the service's properties is
C:\winnt\system32\PMObserv.exe.

Have you resolved the issue yet, or has anyone else found
a resolution?
