I have been trying to no avail to share a printer from my pc to my laptop. I
have installed the drivers from my HP 2100 series on the laptop. Printer is
set up to share from the PC (which the printer on the pc works perfectly)
When I try to share I get the message The printer spooler service is not
running.
What am I doing incorrectly? Please help!

Hi,

Click start/run, type services.msc

Check that the print spooler service is both running and set to automatic
startup (double click it).
