Re: printer spooler stops unexpectedly

Printer does not show up in devices and error message says "Print spooler

we started to have problems:

Printer Driver Microsoft XPS Document Writer for Windows NT x86 Version-3
was added or updated. Files:- mxdwdrv.dll, unidrvui.dll, mxdwdui.gpd,
unidrv.hlp, mxdwdui.dll, mxdwdui.ini, stddtype.gdl, stdnames.gpd,
stdschem.gdl, stdschmx.gdl, unidrv.dll, unires.dll, XpsSvcs.dll.

Then a warning the next day:
Printer WebEx Document Loader was deleted.

Then started to get errors:
DCOM got error "The service did not respond to the start or control request
in a timely fashion. " attempting to start the service lxcf_device with
arguments "" in order to run the server:
{323CE21C-A448-40AA-BA74-7FCF1E44106F}

Further events in the log show when we tried to restart the service, show
that the printer spooler service would start and then unexpectedly quit a
minute or so later.

This is a Lexmark printer, also installed a Linksys wireless router at about
the same time.  Was this a coincidence that we started to have problems with
the spooler after installing the router?  Already tried a system restore and
Windows says nothing was changed.  Any way to solve this without reinstalling
Windows?

thanks for your help!

I do not have your problem and will never be able to reproduce it, but
did a little Googling for such things as lxcf_device and came across a
long MS article and another XP type forum that seems to have your
problem but doesn't appear to end in a resolution.

Lexmark is mentioned in both.

Microsoft says:

The following sounds a lot like your problem:

There are more Google results to read about the lxcf_device that I did
not look at, so maybe some crafty Google searching may help you find a
happy ending.
