Print spooler problems

Guest

I am having trouble printing. I have tried both an Epson and a Lexmark
printer. Sometimes the page prints, sometimes it doesn't and sometimes it
prints after a delay of up to 30 mins!
I get a message stating that the print spooler is not running. Can anyone
explain what this does and how to fix it please.

Please note I am very familiar with Windows XP but not the print spooler so
I don't mind messing about with the registry if that is needed
Thanks in anticipation

Go to/start/run/ enter "services.msc" ok.The print spooler service is
listed. You can change the properties to manual etc.

Thanks Jim
I've found it as you said. Its set for automatic. Can you suggest any
changes I might make to fix the problem please? Sorry to be a pest:)
