Printers disappear and then reappear after reboot |
|
|
Often, when I try to print a document, all of my printers disappear from the
'print' dialog boxes, and the 'printers and faxes' part of the control panel.
After a reboot, they reappear.
This is a problem because I do a lot of work online, and I lose it by
rebooting.
One of the printers is local, the other 4 are network.
I have removed and re-installed all of the printers, to find it's still
happening.
I am using Windows XP Pro SP2.
Your input is appreciated! |

Your print spooler is stopping.

However why it's stopping is unclear. It's usually corrupted printer
drivers that are the cause:
