Hi
My windows XP gateway machine ran into a problem where I cannot print. When
I tried to
locate/add the printer I got the message "Cannot add...print spooler not
running".
I browsed thru the msgs and I found that I could restart the spooler by
going thru
Admistrative Tools->Services->,, but the spooler would not start.

I even tried starting from cmd prompt
net stop spooler
net start spooler
Click to expand...

and I get the message:

Cannot start print spooler System Error 23 (Cyclic Redundancy Check)

The printer is a Samsung ML-1210 laser printer connected directly to the PC.

Can someone please help?

thx,
Kishore

Hi Kishore

Try reinstalling your printer driver, then the spooler service.
 
Hi Nightowl
Thanks for the tip..unfortunately that did not work.
One thing I noticed is that my system restore is not working either,
there are no backups from previous dates and my system restore
is set to be active.

thx,
Kishore
