Hi. Trying to fix my wife's Dell Laptop running WIndows XP Home. The Epson
C66 printer driver disappeared yesterday and when I try to re-install I get
'No printer Spooler' error messages. (Not the exact phrase). Flummoxed and
confused. Any ideas?

OK chums panic over. I found salvation on two Microsoft articles 919750 &
324757 which sorted me out completely. Just as well really as there's no-one
out there!!

I would first check to ensure your print spooler service is running...

Go to Start->Run; type

services.msc

and click OK. Scroll to Print Spooler. Does this read "Started"? If
not, right-click and select Start.
