Guest nepeanmotorgroup@gmail.com Posted August 28, 2007 Posted August 28, 2007 I have a XP PRO machine with a strange printer problem, installed a new HP multifunction printer via USB then about 2 months later it refused to print, yet you could print from another machine to the printer through shared printing. Tried reinstall of drivers, no good, then restarted spooler service - fixed! the spooler was running already & had no errors came up, also when you bring up the print que it shows no jobs from the pc it is installed on, yet when another pc shares it you see the job go through normaly Restarting machine does not help, you have to restart spooler manually! the problem presented itself on & off over the next few weeks with no pattern, I did a regclean with MS regclean, then another using Freeregistrycleaner, still no good Gave up & switched the user over to a network Laser printer next to the other printer, all ok for another few weeks, now it is back to playing up again Anybody got any ideas? I am almost ready to format & start again Michael
