My printer suddenly disappeared from my Windows XP pro
pc. When I tried to "add a new printer" I get the error
message: "Operation could not be completed." Through some
research I found an article suggesting that the print
spooler wasn't running. I tried starting it under
the "services" page and I get an Error 1068 message: "The
dependency service or group failed to start." Its startup
mode is set to automatic. I tried to start the print
spooler manually by keying in "net start spooler" at the
Run prompt, but still nothing. I am logged in as
administrator and the printer has been working fine for 3
months when it was first installed. No software was added
or changes made to the system prior to this problem
occuring. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
