  Hi RobynGP,
   
  This may occur if the print spooler requires other services, and these services are not running. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
   
  1. in Services, right-click on print spooler and then click Properties.
  
  2. click the Dependencies tab. The first box list all system services that must work for the print spooler start. These are dependencies.
  
  3 make a note of each service, click OK, and restart each service on which the print spooler is dependent, if the service is not already started. If a service is not started, right-click, click Properties, and then make sure that the startup type is automatic.
   
  Let us know if this helped.

  Hi all.  I normally wouldn't have a problem with that, but I must be missing something.  I want to create a home network or small business between my desktop running windows xp pro sp3 and my laptop running windows 7 Home premium.  I want to share files and printers.  My desktop with windows xp computer is connected to a wireless router.  The printer is connected to my desktop as well.  My laptop is wireless with the wireless router.  I tried everything I can think of to get these two devices to the network.  If anyone can help.  Don't forget, my printer is connected to my desktop with windows xp and is connected to my wireless router which is connected to my cable modem.  Internet works fine.  the laptop with windows 7's wireless and internet works fine.  just impossible to get the two see each other or share what anyone.  Thank you.

  With respect to the sharing of printer (s), microsoft has a utility called 'Print Migrator'

• Not able to add printers on El Capitan

  I have a late 2009 Mac Mini running OS X El Capitan 10.11.4.  Since the update to El Capitan, I'm not able to add printers, or find software of the printer.  When I opened the printers and Scanners in system preferences, then click (+) to set up a printer, 'Name', 'Place' and 'Use' is not selectable.  If they are not selectable, how am I supposed to add a printer?

  I have a printer Laser of Brother DCP-7065DN.  When I connect it via USB, it does not appear.  All ports operate. (I checked quad).  The cord works with my other printer (a Canon MX860), is not the power cord.

  Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

  Visit brother support website and search for the latest driver. Download and install, and then try again.

• Windows server 2008 r2 domain controller deletes printers on windows 2003 Server

  We have recently installed two new Windows Server 2008 R2 servers in our field.  one of the new servers is the new domain controller (successor of Windows Server 2003 SBS, which has been decommissioned).  There are two other Windows 2003 servers in the domain.  When we turn off all servers for maintenance and then power them back on, the print on the windows 2003 Server spooler crashes; printers are deleted and the server does not allow you to add printers.  is this be caused by some settings in windows server 2008 r2?  This happened twice, and the solution is to rub the print on the windows 2003 Server spooler and reinstall the printers from scratch.

• Connecting 2 HP printers via Ethernet?

  Hi, new to the forum. Noticed the badge of 'Day of the Expert' on the HP site and thought it would be a good place to ask. Trying to give as much detail as possible. My apologies in advance if the message appears long

  I wonder if someone can provide a walkthrough on how to connect 2 HP printers to a desktop HP via Ethernet with a router/modem configuration installed. #1 printer is a Deskjet 6988; #2 printer is Photosmart c309a; PC is a p6623w of flag recently bought at Wal-Mart and upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium to W7 Ultimate. I think it's one of the most recent "Slimline" computers with a minimum of available ports and for problems of space (the entire installation is in a bedroom, with most devices and devices on a desk), I can't really plug a USB hub with several sons (and nowhere to put the hub) and connect the stuff. In addition, there are other computers in the House: two laptops, Pavilion dm1z and Pavilion dv6 - 3227cl, respectively and also with W7 (dm1z = W7 professional, dv6 = Home Premium), on which I would use shared printing (but "home group" met with mixed results). DSL modem is a 6100 Westell Verizon's connected to a Linksys router #WRT320N. I consider myself as moderately / intermediate level "techies" and can understand a little how to perform maintenance / installation routine I receive once the steps in a detail 1-2-3 format (preferably with photos and other visuals!) Some specific questions I have, as well as more details on the configuration of the computer, are listed below. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

  Issues related to the:

  
  

  (1) physical installation is kind of a "Frankenwerk" configuration, with the wires used devices is more internal (but apparently the standard regarding the adapters Ethernet/USB/ca / go). Am a little confused, however, of what is required when making the connection: have 1 yellow cable plugged into the Ethernet port on the Linksys router and the Ethernet port on the modem. There is also a wire Blue connecting port #1 the Linksys router to the Ethernet port on the desktop. Will I need to buy additional cables to connect the 6988 and c309a, and ultimately, where should I connect all of them?

  (2) seems every time I want to try an install (and allegedly to succeed), I later get error messages in the Device Manager MS on a 'WPD file system Volume driver", specifically"this device cannot start (Code 10)." What is the WPD driver and how is it related to the printer (not exactly which), and how to avoid these mistakes in the future?

• If my connection interrupted by the ISP, my connection broadband (PPPoE) on my windows 7 freeze and it does not cut, and he does not answer to disconnect click.

  If my ADSL connection disconnected by the provider of the connection on my computer freezes instead of disconnect!

  As the title suggests, if my connection interrupted by the ISP (for example: Internet service provider who use dynamic IP automatically disconnects after 24 hours permanent connection), my connection broadband (PPPoE) on my windows 7 freeze and it does not cut, and this isn't answer to disconnect click, even if I uninstall the Ethernet card, keep the connection.

  Everything else works fine, and the only way to connect to the Internet is to restart my pc.

  Also if the connection is disconnected due to a traction cable or ADSL Modem power connection broadband (PPPoE) on my PC disconnect normally without any problems and I can reconnect without any problem.
  any help with this.

  Hello

  PPPOE software th whole arrangement never worked well from the first day more than 10 years regardless of the operating system.

  So most serious DSL carriers actually give free Modem/Router so that authentication would be by the side of the router WAN.

  They give it for free for phone support for this problem cost them more than the $10 adds the router to the Modem

  For example, get a router, simple routers in the United States are sold for less than $15.

  Router solved the problem PPPOE provides, security with NAT firewall, and stream DSL is actually faster than with authentication of software.

• "Add a printer" window does not display DeskJet 6988 in Snow Leopard 10.6.1

  I have a DeskJet 6988 printer that is connected wireless to my home network. I have two Macs, two Snow Leopard running that allows to connect to my DeskJet 6988 Hello impression. After the upgrade, the "Add a printer" window would not show my printer. I installed HP v2.1 for Mac OS X printer drivers (available here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907) and also tried to reconnect my printer with an ethernet cable.

  Message edited by aburks on 09/19/2009 11:19

  I was able to manually add my printer by following these steps:

  -Install Mac OS X 10.6.1 using the software update

  -Install the latest drivers from HP printer from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL907

  -Open System Preferences and go to the "Print & Fax".

  -Click the "+" button in the lower left corner of the window of preferences "Print & Fax".

  -Click the icon of the "intellectual property" at the top of the window "add a printer".

  -Select "HP Jetdirect - taken" in the "Protocol:"drop-down box.

  -Type the IP address of your printer in the "address:"field.

  -Make sure that the "print using:" drop-down list reads ' HP Deskjet 6980 series ' "»

  -Click on 'Add' in the lower right of the window "add a printer".

  Your printer should work! The key ingredient is to select 'HP Jetdirect - taken' in the 'Protocol' drop down box, I tried "Line Printer Daemon - LPD" and it did not work.
