From: Piet van Dongen on 20 Apr 2008 06:16 Can you check the permissions on the spool dir? Else: - stop printer spooler service - delete content op c:\windows\system32\spool - delete the key hklm\system\ccs\control\printers\drivers - reinstall the driver Or Are you using a virusscanner that is interfering with creating the printers? There's an issue with mcafee and citrix...
