All 4 printers have disappeared from the list of printers & faxes; reason & need help please!

Good day to all! (I hope yours goes better mine has)

When you try to access my internet postage program, I got a message that it was unable to initialize the printer.  When I checked the list of Printers and faxes in Control Panel... I find 4 all printers who WERE there yesterday... are now gone.

(This excerpt shown below is extracted from the Microsoft support page & described EXACTLY my problem)

  • When you click Startand then click Printers and faxes to try to view your printers, no printers appear. This problem may occur even if you have a printer installed.
  • When you click Add a printer, or when you try to print, you may receive the following error message and cannot add a printer:
"Operation could not be performed.  Printer Spooler service is not running.

I tried several times to use "Fix - it" Microsoft online service, and he could not solve the problem.  I just kep saying me he couldn't solve the problem.  It is absolutely No. MS supports available unless you have at least $59.00 or more to pay for trying to help!  "Terminal" and valid on a model of disability very limnited former fighters from one month to the other... I could not certainly not even begin to afford no paid... help unfortunately.

I am NOT computer saavy and I don't any idea as well WHERE to start... much less HOW to solve this problem!  Unless I can get this printer spooler service, or something else... running... I can't even begin to try to re - install a printer I have.

I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer!  I'm at the end of my tether here!  Thank you very much for your time and review!

Pete C.

For the moment, I'm inclined to let my "sleepine XP 'dog' lie'... Since things seem to work almost normal again.

Good plan.

  • All my posts have disappeared from the Inbox.

    I realized there is a similar problem posted, but proposed solutions don't work here and the details here are different.

    All messages have disappeared from the Inbox. The sent box is fine, but deleted from the Inbox messages do not appear in the Recycle Bin.

    A search of the Inbox for messages of size > 0 allows me to see the messages and respond to them.
    If I move a message to another folder the moved message is invisible but believes it is search.

    Deleted messages are in the trash folder, but is not visible. A search in the trash finds them.

    Messages in the search boxes reuse (response, delete), but try to delete a selected message in the search box list has no effect.

    I found a solution. I can't take credit, but I tell you that I was almost embarrassed the simplicity of the solution and the problem.

    Hi desperateme

    Your recent photo (in the last 30 days) should be in the photo stream assuming that you use.

  • Network Wi - Fi has disappeared from the list of available networks

    My network name has disappeared from my list of available networks and all 7 of my wireless devices decreased by connectivity.  When I plug in the router, the computer searches the available networks and the indicator light on the Ethernet cable is green, which indicates a good connection, I.  When I click on the connection status icon in the menu bar it says I am connected to my network, but I have "no Internet access.  Simply unplug the router or on the button reset gave no positive results. In addition, my computer is several security updates, for Windows and my package of Microsoft Office when he lost of connectivity, which may or may not have something to do with my connectivity problems, I don't know.  Is someone can please help me diagnose this connectivity problem?  Also, I have a Linksys WRT54G Router model # v8.

    In addition to everything above, I notice an unsecured network called "Linksys" keeps coming back when I plug in my router and canning when I disconnect it in the process of disappearance.  Linksys is NOT the name of my network.  This seems awfully curious, why what is happening?

  • My icons have disappeared from the SysTray

    All icons except time disappeared from my system tray.  A KB (sorry, missed the number) indicated that may result by calling the Hibernate power function.   I didn't exactly, however, under Options of Panel\Power control, the presentations tab, I put "Turn off monitor" and "standby" to "after 1 hour" for a few days. "  All icons except time disappeared.

    After I restore all settings power forever, however, the icons are not returned.

    There are many posts & FAQ on restoring the volume, usually with regard to C:\WIndows\system32\sndvol.32.exe, I think they can refer in case there is no sound at all.  I have the sound and the sndvol32.exe file seems to be good and in the right place (2).

    So I think that my problem is not just the Volume icon, but there is a problem with all the icons, not just volume.

    I also saw the FAQ related to a repair of the problem on "My Network Places" icon, but they have not worked for me.

    There was also a suggestion to install the original Windows XP disc and restore the original files.  In my case, that would mean coming back to SP2.  I have SP3 disk, but I mention it only to point to how 'old', some of these files systen will do.  So, I have to ask:

    • And how about the odd updates 300 listed in my CP/Add and Remove programs?
    • Does not remove the customization settings, that I may have made in the last 4-5 years?  A horrible thought!

    Would appreciate any suggestions

  • iRACS disappear from the list of devices

    Hello, I am fairly new to OME and its peculiarities. I'm under OME v2.0 and see something strange in the Manage > screen devices where devices disappear.

    I have an iDrac which I created a record in DNS.

    I created a new folder of the range found in the discovery tab and inventory that has SNMP and WS - MAN active. I created a new range of discovery in my new folder where I have added the DNS name of the iDrac. After you run a discovery & inventory, it appears in devices such as an unknown device.

    I ran the Dell troubleshooting tool (v3.4.0) and it showed that the public SNMP trap is not activate on iDrac (WS - MAN worked a treat). I enabled SNMP on iDrac, but when I ran other inventory, it has disappeared from the OME > Manage > devices. If I disable SNMP iDrac and rerun the inventory, it appears again.

    1, why what is happening? Where does go? 2nd, how do I get the iDrac in devices without him being unknown. Which I suppose is possible.

    Thanks much for any help you can give.

    John

    Hi John,.

    IDRAC don't disappear when you have already discovered server, rather the iDRAC correlates data and the server. Thus, the entry you see under Server, the same must be replicated under the CARS. You will not see an individual entry separate CARS separately, instead, it will be an entry replcated of what you see under servers in the RAC group. If this is what happens then its all good.
