Printer Preferences

[Guest]

Im running windows XP sp2 it seems that when you select a printer and try and
run properties nothing happens nothing ever shows. and when I select
Printing Preferences I receive a windows error message "Operation could not
be
completed" Dont know what changed but printer Preferences does not work.
If anyone knows a solution please let me know. I've already tried checking
the spooler and RPC, and Printer Spool Server and everything has been started.
I've already reinstalled the printupg.inf or printupg.PNF, and still
nothing, If anyone can help please let me know

You didn't tell us if this printer is operational. Does it print?

yes everything prints fne and I can even add printers it just that I cant get
the properties selection to open and as I said when I r-click on a printer
and choose the 3rd option "Printer Perferences" thats when I receive the
error message.

Hi Joe -

Did this ever get resolved ? Seems that a number of people are having this
problem

Nothing seemed to work so I just reinstalled XP and then all the other
drivers that I used to have, the Printer Properties started working
again.....wait for it.....but after I rebooted I started getting svchost
errors and it would just not go away... tried reinstalling XP again and the
errors
stoped. Then my antivirus ninstalled, so I reinstlled it. I also had to
use the instructions here at this web site cause my updated would not work

everything seemed to work

hope this helps
