Re: Print Spooler Error

So you're printing wirelessly? Or it's on a print spooler?

The most common cause of the printer spooler failing is corrupted printer
drivers... have you tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of the printer
from your PC?

Sorry if I wasn't clear: The printer is linked to my computer via the
router,
so there is no cable. I guess that would be a fall-back possibility, but
the
printer and the coomputer are in different rooms and I'd rather not have
cable between them.

First thing to try is a different USB cable.

Suddenly unable to print: I keep getting the message, "The print
spooler
was
unable to connect to your printer ..." I have tried: rebooting ...
turning
off and on the spooler ... emptying Windows/System32/Spool/Printers.
No
luck.

Here's the setup: XP Pro, SP 2, Linksys router (which is otherwise
working,
or I wouldn't be on the Internet), HP Officejet 7410 All-in-One.

What am I missing?

Thanks for any help you can provide!
