Guest Nils Titley Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 I believe I have done some thing to my print spooler. When I try printing, it will no longer print if I have the printer set to spool the print jobs. But If I change to 'print directly' documents are printed. The print spooler is running. The printer was working fine with spool prints but I think I stopped a process. Though it does show that the spooler is running. What do I need to change. Thank you

Guest db.·.. > Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Re: Print Spooler i agree with mm. ---------- if everyone in the world, including yourself had only windows and other microsoft products installed and nothing else, then a concrete solution could be provided because your os would be rock solid like concrete. perhaps, the above is an idea you should consider. uninstall "all" antivirus's and disable your firewall(s) and running antivirals. the reason the above is plural is because there are some people that install too much protection which results in either corrupting the system or locking the users out or prevent modifications to the registry. perhaps you might want to run>regedit and utilize the find feature for "spooler" and "printer" you seem computer savvy so i think that the keys above may provide you with additional clues. ------------------ also, if it is any help what you might want to do is to create a system restore point for "now". then restore your pc back to a date when your printers were functional and compare those registry keys to the ones you recently examined. afterwards, bring your system back to now by restoring it to the recent restore point and modify the keys accordingly. -- db·´¯`·...¸><)))º> "Nils Titley" <NilsTitley@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:FF48A7F7-48AB-4E69-86AF-83A0DF01D131@microsoft.com... > Thanks for responding.
