Greetings,
I'm having problems printing to a printer that's connected to my home
network. I have everything set up in a "WORKGROUP." All the drivers for
the printer in question are installed on each client in the workgroup. I
can print a test page from a client machine in the workgroup, but then I get
the following error box message on the client that the printer is directly
connected: "Spoolsv.exe - Application Error" it goes on to read as follows:
"The instruction at '0x77f572bd' memory referenced at '0x015f3405'. The
memory could not be read." After that, the printer can no longer be
accessed by any of the clients in the workgroup.

The test page never prints until I reboot the client machine the printer
is connected. I've tried all 4 of the clients on the workgroup and it
happens on each one. I had this working correctly in the past, but then I
reinstalled Windows XP on the client machine the printer is connected to and
haven't been able to print a document from it since. I've added the printer
correctly on each client machine and it shows up as a Shared Resource on
each, but still I can't print. Please provide any suggestions on what I can
do to remedy this situation.

Thanks,
J. R.
