  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.

• Windows can't open add printer. Access is denied.

  I have a Windows 7 HP Pavilion Elite.  The printer that I have connected to it, a HP Photosmart D7360 worked OK for a few days until what I tried to connect it to the network.  In the House, either XP or Vista laptops do not have to connect to it.  I think I ruined somehow with permissions... I also uninstalled the printer...  Now, I can't even reinstall the printer.  The error message is: Windows can't open add printer.  Access is denied.  Help!
  How regain access so that I can re - install the printer?

  Beginning
  Run
  rundll32 printui.dll /il

  If not work

  runas / user: compturnam\admini "rundll32 printui.dll, PrintUIEntry /il.

  How to receive the permissions it ruins I have no idea--> I guess your just using one account - no changes? (your not trying to add the printer via a limited right account) Computer nerd who serves the grannies

• Windows can't open add printer. Impossible operation completed (error 0x000000c1)

  When I try to "Add a printer" in the Panel in Windows 7, I have "Windows can't open add printer." Impossible operation completed (error 0x000000c1). »

  I uninstalled all the other printer drivers (I'm pretty sure. How can I know?).

  It's an all-in-one HP Officejet Pro 8600, and I can use the scanner very well. I can't add the printer.

  Thanks for responding!

  I tried several solutions and searched many forums. This has actually been a problem for some time now, and I do not know what facilities of printer driver broke.

  I did put a lot of thought into it and just posted stuff to the network and printed one of my other computers. It became a problem recently, when I was too lazy to get up and turn on one of the other computers. :-) I then decided that I just needed to fix it.

  I read all the posts I could find for each version of Windows treats this problem and tried each of them. I removed all the old drivers (at least I think I did. I couldn't find anybody would say, 'Here are the drivers installed.'). I downloaded the new drivers from HP. I edited the registry. I went to the folder/Windows/System32/Spool/something and deleted all. I searched all references to Lexmark (my old printer) and deleted.

  In any case, last night my boot sector failed, so I ended up reinstalling Windows. I just finished now, and the printer works fine, now.

  No,

  PS I'm sorry that this thread will be of no use to any person responsible research. I found a lot of them, too.

  I can't reinstall my printer Epson WiFi is on my network. I recently installed a "update package" published on 11/04/2011 Epson. I have a HP Pavilion laptop g7 with windows 7 64-bit OS. I can't go back to "System Restore" to the date of my installation of update. I have an another HP laptop also on the network, and he has no problem printing. I reinstalled the Epson printer so I can print a page of the Epson, but windows does not recognize the drivers I am not able to print anything else. I can not add the same "a Note" as my printer because of the error message "Access denied" mentioned above. I have tried to install using the disc to Epson, and then after uninstalling all things Epson I installed on the Epson site. Note: I'm on the same network "workgroup" as the other laptop, however, when I go to my computer > network it shows 2 laptops, devices, multifunction, Network Infrastructure devices, printers and Scanners. The only difference between the 2 laptops in this area is that mine shows 'Gateway Internet' in the 'Network Infrastructure' and the other laptop shows router WiFi.

• Windows can't open add printer, error 0x000000a4

  Printers and possibility of adding printers, anything under printers in Control Panel suddenly disappeared.  How can I get or where can I download this?

  If you restart, do you feel the problem yet?  0x000000a4 error seems to be related to the "ERROR_MAX_THRDS_REACHED' -"no more threads can be created in the system".

  If all goes well, this means that you are experiencing a temporary condition of scarce resources that could be fixed by rebooting.  If the behaviour continues, it would be interesting to dig deeper.

  Because your message was clearly not your comments on the web site of MIcrosft responses, I have he left the comment forum in the forum 'Hardware and drivers' Windows 7.

  When you say it "will not open', do you mean physically or you want to tell the printer object in the printers and devices folder does not open when you double-click it?

  Have you tried to delete the printer and add it again?

  He has already worked?  If so, have you changed between yesterday and today?  The device is supposed to be compatible with Windows 7 and should not need a separate driver, but if you have Windows 7 32 - bit, you can try using the driver on the Epson website.

  How do you connect to the Stylus DX4050?  It is USB, wired network or wireless network?  The documentation says it is USB, but I connected USB printers to the network, then maybe you have as well.

  The more details you provide on your printer and your system, the better people can help you.

• I used to be able to add new files in libraries by clicking on the tab 'add a new folder '. Now it does not work.

  When I go to the library to add a new folder, it does not work.  I used this method, many, many times with no problems.  I have not tried to add a new folder in about a month, I think.  I clicked on the file I want to add a subfolder to do a right click.  He asked new portfolio name.  I find that odd because I have this experience only on my desktop and my laptop.
