1241503 2011-11-02 21:14:00 My installed printers suddenly disappeared from Printers and faxes and received error message when trying to print that printer not installed.
When trying to install new printer from Printers and Fax I get the error message that "printer spooling services are not available. Have tried searching for help, but to no avail. When I try to install drivers from the CD it tells me they are already installed.
I am running XP professional and am on auto update I run the free versions of Zone Alarm and Avast. Would appreciate any help on the matter.
Thanks

1241505 2011-11-02 22:12:00 have you tried running sfc /scannow from the command prompt to see if any thing is missing from your XP, you will need the installation disc gary67 (56)
1241506 2011-11-02 22:32:00 Check and see if the Print Spooler service is running. Sounds like it's stopped. Renegade (16270)
