Printer spool not running

Posted: 05-24-2004, 05:14 PM
Okidata C5100 laser printer

No matter what I try and do - add a printer, delete a
printer - set preferences I get the same error message:
Print spool service not running.
Unable to perform operation.

Also when I go through "XP Service" and enable (start)
print spool nothing happens.

I have tried deleting the files in the registry key like
Microsoft Knowledge base has said to. Then I try to use
the command prompt to "net start spooling," but nothing
happens when I hit enter and I can't type anything
anymore. I also can't add a printer because it
says "operation could not be completed" What else can I
try?
