From: Karen F on 12 Mar 2010 16:48 Up until today my printer was fine. I don't use it that often but when I went to print today this is the message I received, "The Print Spooler Service Is Not Running" Does anyone know what that means? I have to print my taxes. Thanks. -- Karen

Just a thought! >WT< "Karen F" <fetter(a)frontiernet.net> wrote in message news:er2WG3iwKHA.1984(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Up until today my printer was fine.

From: Karen F on 12 Mar 2010 17:23 I never updated them and it always worked. Shall I reinstall the printer? -- Karen "williamtell" <wt(a)nospam.invalid> wrote in message news:uwhLUBjwKHA.3764(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Possibly if you have third party software installed for your particlar > printer, when was the last time you updated the drivers? > Just a thought! > >>WT< > > "Karen F" <fetter(a)frontiernet.net> wrote in message > news:er2WG3iwKHA.1984(a)TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... >> Up until today my printer was fine.

Try this: Control Panel, Administrative Tools, Component Services, click on Services (Local) and scroll down to Print Spooler. You can grab the lower left corner of the window with your mouse to make it bigger. For the Print Spooler, the startup Type should be Automatic. Is yours set that way? And is the Status, Started? -- JD..

Dell printer and H & R Block Tax program. It printed after I put the tax program on the computer. The only thing I recently added was Itunes. -- Karen "JD" <JD(a)example.invalid> wrote in message news:OrngvRkwKHA.812(a)TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl... > Karen F wrote: >> Up until today my printer was fine.
