Print spooler service not running

[Chuck McCall]

I have windows vista installed on my laptop and XP on my desk top. These
computers are networked. I can see the printer in the Network folder. the
problem i'm having is when ever i try to print from my laptop i get the
message that the print spooler service is turned off. When i check in
services it shows that it is running. Does anybody know how i can fix this
problem. Thanks

On the Vista PC, re-enable UAC.

I am also having a spooler problem. I receive an erro saying my spooler is
not running. This started after I installed a Lexmark printer and the vista
driver from their site. When it still didn;t work, I uninstalled it. After I
rebooted my system I had the problem, and now my systems shows I have no
pinters installed, even though there are two that worked previously. I found
a lexmark files that the uninstall program left behine :lexbces" by going to
serach and entering service.msc. Now when I try the search under service.msc
I get no files found. The corruption has gotten worse.
I would sure appreciate some help.
Thank you
Steve
