Printer spooler problem on new vista laptop

[Lori]

Okay I'm having problems getting a networked printer to run from my new
Toshiba Satellite laptop running Vista Home Premium.

I keep getting local spooler subsystem has crashed when I try to run the
printer. This happens if I try to connect to it via the Network (printer is
usually on a desktop running XP Home Pro) or if I directly connect it to the
laptop.

Is there a fix for this? This is my first experience with Vista and it's
annoying

Thanks
Lori

Did you first download Vista drivers for the printer from the printer
mftr.'s website? If not, you need to do this. What printer make/model?
