Network print spool problem

Hi All,

I have just purchased a new printer (HP F4200 All-in-One Series)
I installed the drivers on my pc and everything was fine. Print scan copy all worked.
Then my wife and kids wanted to use the printer from their PC's/laptops.
This is where my problem started I clicked on the printer properties and clicked to shareover the network.
I went over to my wife’s pc and clicked to add printer, it installed the needed drivers and all was well (or so I thought)
I tried to print a test page from my wife’s pc (opened notepad and wrote a few lines) clicked print and away it went.
Nothing printed so I went to have a look at my pc to see what had happened and on screen was an error message saying "Spooler Subsystem App has encountered a problem". I checked in the services and sure enough the print spooler had switched to "stopped".

I uninstalled all the drivers from my pc and installed them again and again it worked fine on my pc until I clicked to share it and tried to print from the other pc.

Both pc's are running win xp pro sp3

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Yes file and print sharing is enabled on all pc's and yes they are on the same network.

Have you tried going into control panel on each system and doing the setup home network wizard.

I did that and it let us print from my wifes computer to the printer thats on mine.

Any updates? I'm having the exact same problem

This worked!!! Thank you! Thank you! We were fighting this for quite a while. We have 2 remote XP systems happily printing to the 4280 connected locally to a 3rd networked XP.
