    Net Start Spooler
    « on: March 09, 2009, 12:14:23 PM »
    I have a small problem.

    I recently uninstalled a few programs  and suddenly found myself without any printers installed, it just said spooler not active.  After a little looking around, I found the DOS command line "Net Start Spooler", then everything would work okay.

    Problem is everytime I reboot my computer I have to re-enter the Dos command to get the printers back.
    Is there somewhere in the registry or elsewhere I can turn this back on permanently?

    Computer: Dell Optiplex 210L, XP Pro SP3

    Thanks
