Lexmark 5200 series printer
I'm running XP Home on the base station pc and also on a wireless laptop. I use a Linksys wireless router and i'm on high speed cable thru Comcast. The printer worked fine for a couple of months. yesterday i tried to print something and i got this error message:"Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running."
i deleted the printer from device manager to do a reinstall and when i clicked on install i get the same error msg. Another error msg i saw said : "The RPC server is unavailable."
another thing: after i have the cd with the drivers in the drive a dialog box says :"Spooler service is not started. Do you want the spooler service started now?"
i click Yes and the dialog box disappears and nothing happens. could it be corrupt drivers? If so, why did it work fine for awhile with installation drivers that came with it then stop working?
anyone know whats wrong and how to fix it?
thanks, Jim
