Adding global printers to XP
Last response: in Windows XP
Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)
I have been using the rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry command to add
global printers to our W2k PC's. Now that we are rolling out XP I haven't
been able to get this command to work. I keep getting the error message that
the print subsystem is unavailable. Does anyone know what needs to be setup
or changed to make this work in XP.

And ensure the Print Spooler on the PC that the printer is attached to (and
the XP Printers) is started. From the Command Prompt, type
net start spooler
