If you receive this error and do not have LanTastic installed, one of th
system DLLs that are needed for the Add Printer Wizard to work may b
missing or have been replaced by another file. You will need to restore th
old file

1. Open the command lin
2. Click on Start, then Run and type "cmd" and press enter or click "OK"
3. At the "C:\>" prompt, type "sfc /scannow" to run the system fil
protection scanner. This may prompt you for the Windows CD to restore th
original file versions

This usually means that the print spooler service is not running. Try this
command from a command prompt:

net start spooler

If the print spooler fails to start or stops, this is most often an
indication of a printer driver problem. See

If this doesn't help, knowing what make and model of printer you have may
help in diagnosing the problem.
