Hi Randy,
This issue may occur if the printer driver is preventing the system from
entering standby.
I suggest you update the printer driver to the latest version and try
again. Also, you may disable standby in the Control Panel>Power Options.
In addition, I suggest you follow the steps below.
1. Stop the Print Spooler service from Computer Management Console
2. Expand the file SPOOLSV.EX_ from the Windows XP CD ROM (/i386 folder) to
c:\windows\system32\SPOOLSV.EXE
Note: I suppose this is a Windows XP system. You may use this command:
expand <cdrom>:\i386 SPOOLSV.EX_ c:\windows\system32\SPOOLSV.EXE
3. Use System Restore to roll the system back to a point before the printer
drivers/applications were installed.
Hope this helps!
Sincerely,

| I have a new HP Officejet 7130 All-in-One printer installed. When I am
| printing I get the following message: "The service 'print spooler' is
| preventing the machine from entering standby. Try stopping the service and
| try again." It doesn't seem to interfer with my printing; but the message
| keep popping up and can become annoying. What is causing this, and what
does
| it mean?. When I run Services.msc to turn this service off, I then get
the
| message that I don't have a printer connected to my PC.
|
| Thanks in advance.
