Add New Printer

[Ollie]

When i try to add a printer i get a message
saying "Printer Operation cannot continue due to lack of
resources. The print subsystem is unavalible." How can i
overcome this???

Hi Ollie,

I was wondering if you are able to solve this problem?
Can you tell me what you have done to fix this problem? I
get the same error message when I try to add a printer.

thanks,
Jc
