HI All. My machine developed a new problem last night. We have 4 printers installed. None are showing up. The print spooler service keeps stopping. I manually restart it but it stops after a few seconds. I goggled it and tried all the suggestions I could find with no luck. I tried reinstalling print drivers with no success. I checked the dependencies and they are all running. Any input would sure be appreciated. Howard

Hi Cari. I uninstalled the old drivers. It won't let me install new drivers because the print spooler won't run. It only runs for a few seconds.The event viewer said this error has occured 6000 times in the last day. Any other suggestions would sure be appreciated.

I have the same exact problem. I was told it was a Toshiba issue, but even the Toshibal customer service couldn't help. Anybody else have any ideas? -- mrhubby
Toshiba do not make printers, at least not in the consumer range of products. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "mrhubby" wrote in message news:e5ba597a69813cb86287c05a1cde7edb@nntp-gateway.com... > > I have the same exact problem.

Is this some kind of multifunction device? -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "Zaxdad" wrote in message news:OkSiCVC5IHA.3484@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... > Hi Cari. > I uninstalled the old drivers.

Hi Cari. We have 2 single function printers and 1 multi-function device. Also 1 printer on a wireless print server.

Its a combination of both. If you setup the Toshiba Copier on a 2003 Server Print Server and you are using Vista which will automatically detect the printer, the print spooler will fail. Also, you can not uninstall the printer from the vista box because of some bug in Vista. You have to manualy remove the driver from the registry under the following key... navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\version 3 Remove the Toshiba driver and then go to your SERVICES.MSC and restart the Print Spooler service. Then add the printer using a local connection and use a TCP/IP port and what ever the copiers ip address is and it will work fine. I don't know if it is that the Toshiba drivers do not work on the Print Server or if it is a bug with Print Servers and Windows Vista. I hope they fix it soon.
