Print Spooler Service

External Since: Jul 08, 2006 Posts: 165

I cannot for the life of me get this thing figured out. Everytime I try to
install the driver for my Lexmark X4270 printer, it won't work because the
print spooler is not started. When I try to start the print spooler service,
it won't let me, I get an Error 1068 message. The weird thing is, is that
the scanner works perfectly fine with another program that I have for
document editing, so I know the computer is recoginizing that
interface...whenever I call Microsoft, I get put on hold for at least an
hour, any suggestions?? -Kevin kevinm783 RemoveThis @hotmail.com

Even after all this time, Lexmark still can't write their own drivers.
