the print spooler is the issue, its in services, usually starting and stoping it may fix it, but probably now. un install the software, reboot make sure the print spooler is set to automatic in services.msc, then reinstall the software for the printer. make sure the printer is set to default inside the printer option in control panel. if that dont work its broke!

another issue is that sometimes printers stubbornly won't function until a print job is either completed or deleted ....out of memory

so go in and see if anything is still waiting to print

if this is xp

go to the command prompt (Click Start > Run > type: “cmd” without the quotes) and typed “NET STOP SPOOLER”

Then go to C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\PRINTERS and delete the files


then restart the print spooler by typing “NET START SPOOLER” at the command prompt
