SP2? Spooler Sub System app has a problem

[jordan]

I keep getting this error when i try to open the
printer/faxes icon in the start program. I can't print
and i can't add a printer either. i keep getting a print
spooler service not running. I tried to type in cmd the
sc config spooler= RPCSS then net stop spooler then net
start spooler and still the same error. Is there a way to
get this resolved?

Is the print spooler running? From the command prompt type

net start spooler

(and hit enter)

Are you an Administrator or User with Admin Rights?

 

[jordan]

the print spooler is running and i am the administrator.

Have you run a System File Check? From the command prompt, type:

sfc /scannow

(note space between c and /)
