hi peeps, (i apologise if ive posted this in the wrong place)

every time i try to install printer driver for my lexmark 2300 series (x2350) - connected via USB - its says:

spooler service is stopped. do you want to start it as it needs to be running for intallation, to continue.....

so i say yes, and it does nothing.

i try and restart the installation and again.... the same problem.

^^^^ installing from cd

if i do it from the 'add printer' function in windows xp. it just say 'operation could not be completed.

im really confused it was working the other day and all of a sudden its giving me grief :confused:

can anyone shed some light on how to solve this problem any help would be much apreciated. :)
 
tried all of that. but can any one tell me how to manually start the spooler service as that seems to be what is standing in my way. i have run diagnostics on the pc and everything seems fine
cheers everyone
 
Ok tried that and it gave me an error message when i tried to start it - Error 1068 the dependancy service or group failed to start - this is way beyond me lol!? any further help greatly appreciated
thanx again
