Printer Help--Spoolsv.exe

[Guest VFP Developer]

I am running Win/2000. I found I could not send anything to the printer and

when I looked in the control panel, I found that my printer drivers all

disappeared! When I tried to add one in the control panel, I received a

message about no resources available. I rebooted the machine and when the

machine restarted, I received this message:

 

Program Error

Spoolsv.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will

need to restart the program.

An error log is being created.

 

I don't know what this means or how to access the error log. Can you

suggest how I can correct this problem? Many thanks.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the help. I found the Win2000.Printing newsgroup and I am over

there now.

The problem changed after a cold boot. I now see the printer drivers in

the contorl panel applet and spoolsv.exe is executing, but nothing gets out

of the computer to the printer. I can see the files I sent in the print

queue but they are not moving out to the printer. I am getting help on this

in the Printing newsgroup, but if you have any ideas, I'd appreciate hearing

them!

Thanks.
