Print Spooler wont start

[Randy]

The print wizard does not work and I after reviewing
some of the articles, here I noticed the print spooler
was not running.

So based on Cari's suggestion, i attempted to start
it by using the command line:

net start spooler

I even did the same thing from the Services control panel.

The Print spooler will not start.

What other suggestions does people have???

Just a shot...check your RPC see if it is started.

check for viruses. The blaster virus mucked with the RPC service.

I've done everything Randy has and still can't get print spooler to
start. What up??

What is the exact text of the error message when you try to use net start
spooler?
