Spoolsv.exe Entry Point Problem

[Guest]

Dear,

I setup a Windows 2000 file and printer server with SP4.
After I installed some printers loaded with W2K and Win98
drivers, I got this message:

"Spoolsv.exe - Entry Point not Found
Procedure entry point GetPrinterA could not be located in
dynamic link library spoolss.dll".

Does anyone know how to resolve it?

Every time i have seen this, it was caused by an older driver/monitor
loaded. Usually the easiest way out is to methodically trim them off until
the problem goes away, then you know which one not to reload. I've included
an article on how to genericly do this. Look for the section "Error
Messages Typically Caused by Local Port Monitor Problems"

Your goal is to figure out which driver is causing it thru remove and test.
