nope still not working. i went into services and clicked start on the Printer
Spooler and it comes up with an error message stating Could not start the
Printer Spooler service on Local Computer Error: 1068 The dependency service

Aha, a Lexmark or a Dell (which is a rebadged Lexmark)... follow steps 15
through 17 at Bruce's website at

Should be the same process.... remove the dependency.

There is a separate newsgroup for printing & fax issues with Vista.
