[paula711]

Not so great at this stuff. I update windows info. since then i cannot get my printer to work. when i go to start the spooler this message comes up

 

Could not start Printer Spooler on local computer.

 

Error 1058: The service could not be started either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled services associated with it.

 

I have tried everything even downloading the printer CD.

 

??????????what to do??????

 

Thanks,

Paula

Hi Paula

 

Welcome to FPCH

 

Have a read of this from the good old boys at Microsoft.

 

Service does not start and displays "Error 1058"

[paula711]

i tried that and got an new error 1068: the dependancy service or group failed to start

 

Thats a new one.

 

Any suggestions ?

What is the make and exact model number of the printer paula?

[paula711]

HP Photosmart 8150

I went to HP and downloaded the software and the error message 1058 popped up. i have been in the systems and trying to start the printer spooler. read was it depended on and tried to start that up (lexbce server) and got an error message from that as well. So then I tried to see what that was dependant on and found that the RPC needed to be started in which i did get it to. so where i am now is the printer spooler will not start as well as the lexbce and i do see where the dependancy is. but being unfamiliar does not help. Hope all this info can help.

You had a Lexmark printer at some stage yes?

 

Completely uninstall any instances of lexmark from your system including going through a search for any vestiges of this old software.

[paula711]

you are right. and i did remove all the lexmark stuff last week. i am not sure if anything else lingers around i did a search and nothing came up.

now what should i do?

Just removing a program from Add/Remove does not mean that it is totally gone Paula.

 

Run a Search for any instances of the word lex, which to me can only be associated and delete those.

[paula711]

it came up with 86 files some are under windows, compdata and program files. it is safe to assume i need to delete all of them? it does not look like anything i used recently.

I would rename them rather then delete them but only if you're sure they are related to lexmark. Just add old to the end of the name but before the file type extension.
