Shared Printer

[Bob Tucker]

Operating windows XP with a desktop & laptop WORKGROUP.
I am sharing the printer assigned to the host desktop.
The printer since the beginning shows as a shared printer
on the laptop under Printer and Faxes. Everything seems
okay and printing from the laptop to the host printer in
the past has worked fine. But now when trying to print I
receive the message, "Print spooler not running." I've
check to assure no firewalls are active but have no clue
on how the run the spooler.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
