I tried to print a document, and the computer won't print. I checked "printers" in the Windows XP that I'm using, and the printer icons (there are at least 3) are gone. It's just a empty page. When I try to add a computer, I receive the following message: "Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running." I don't know what caused my icons to up and disappear.
I reloaded the printer software on one printer, and the message indicated that I already have the printer installed so I told the computer to reload the software. This action did not produce a printer icon either.
I need help.
I’ve had good luck entering tech questions into search engines; you usually get a full page of queries from people with similar issues and if lucky, a solution.
Don't you know that the new Obama environmental policy is to stop printing and move to an electronic system? Who needs paper anymore... it destroys the Earth! Didn't you get the email?
And another thing...
Someone with the word "tree" in their screen name should KNOW THIS!!! What's the matter with you!?!
