Brand new load of windows XP Pro SP2. Every time the pc is rebooted the
spool service is turned off and I cant find how to fix it. I have to
reinstall printer every time I reboot. The very first thing the install
program does is tell me the spool service is turned off and it has to turn it
on to install the printer. If I exit install program after it turns on the
spooler everything will work fine. How do I fix this.

Check in services [start |run | services.msc] that print spooler is set to start automatically

Yes it was set for automatic but still wouldnt hold. I reinstalled XP and all
is fine now. That fixed all the problems I was having.

Start>Run>services.msc>OK

Scroll down to Print Spooler service and check whether the status says
'started'. If not started,then right-click on it and choose 'start'.
