I have tried to start the print spooler in the "Services" function, but when
I try to install a Lexmark printer, it says that the spooler service is not
running. It appears to shut itself off. Also when I get past that warning,
the message that the printer does not have a recognizable port comes up.
 
Brad,
Try using Explorer (right click on Start then Explorer) and select Windows,
then system32, then spool, then PRINTERS

Delete any files in that folder.

Then go back an start your print spooler.

Should now work Okay.

Hope that clears any problem - Good Luck, flip
