Print spool not work with HP all in one and XP

My HP All in One (psc 2175) will not print when using the print spool. The
job will go to the spooler and never print. This was working fine just 6
days ago. The only way I can print is directly to the printer. I've stopped
and started the spooler, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling the
printer, and I finally went to a restore point when it was working, but
nothing fixes the problem. I do not get an error of any kind. Just not
response from the printer. Also,the only way to clear the spool once I send
a print job is to either turn off the PC or stop the spooler and physically
delete the files from c:\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS. Any help would be
appreciated.

I will be interested in someone answering your question, as I also have the
exact same problem... I have to clear out the print queue by deleting all
jobs. Seems a shame you can not use the spooler with the HP product. Does
HP support have a fix?

HP doesn't seem to know what is going on. I spent 4.5 hours on the phone
with them, and they sent me in a circle starting with printer support, then
desktop, then printer support again. All three had me try the exact same
steps. I am hoping someone else might have a suggestion. The spooler used
to worked, and then stopped. Is that what you experienced?
