I lost my Printer.

When I attempt to print, I get an error message saying "No printers are installed. To install a printer, point to Settings on the Windows Start menu, click Printers, and then double-click Add Printer. Follow the instructions in the wizard." When I attempt to add a my printer, I get an error messgae saying "Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running."

Please Help!!!

Hi Dgillespie13, welcome to SAF

Was it working before ? In this case, a system restore may do the trick: <Start-> Programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> System Restore>. Select a date just before the problem started.

You may also try this:

<Start/Run> type in services.msc (Enter).

Double-click the Printer Spooler service, and change the startup to Automatic. Click OK.

Reboot and try to install the printer again.

Let us know how it goes.
