Running XP Home and am trying to add a printer whose driver appears on the
drivers available list. I get an error message saying that the print spooler
isn't running. The printer is connected through the USB port.
I've looked in "Help" and can find no obvious answer.
I've looked at MSCONFIG and see no obvious print spooler.
How do I resolve this.
Help please
To start the spooler go to Start > Run and type
"net start spooler" (without quotes) and click OK.
*Why* the spooler was stopped may be more difficult to determine.
