I have been for the last two hours trying to attempt to get my printer to work. My printer is not even showing up on the Printer and fax screen. When I hit add a printer it says The Print Spooler Service is not running. I have tried with failing several times to try to fix it and I new to fixing a computer.:confused:

This recommendation may be a little late base on your post. I just received this message, "The print spooler service is not running", which really agitated me because I downloaded PDFLite to convert JPG to PDF but this crap converted all my Adobe PDF files to PDFLite PDF and suspect this crap caused this message.
This recommendation is easy and can be used the next time around:
* select My Computer (desktop icon or START)
* select Services and Applications
* select Services
In the right pane:
*scroll to Print Spooler (should be highlighted)
*select Restart Service (you may need to be the administrator)
You should see all printers defined. Note the printer your are using and select it.

Happy Computing (ole DP'er before IT)
