After a system crash all printers are gone and when trying to add a printer I
get the message:
"Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running"
After starting the service manually and trying to add a printer I get the
message:
"Operation could not be completed" and the service is stopped again. I
looked at some of the previous answers and related topics (like article nine,
and Q324757) and followed the described procedures - with no luck. Still the
same behavior.
How can I fix this problem without reinstalling XP? How can I narow down the
source of the problem any further?
