This happened on my print server when I bought a new 4015n and installed the drivers. I also had a 2600n printer installed on the server and there was a conflict with the ports. The fix was to change the 2600n port to a "Standard TCP/IP" port and the 4015n port to an "HP TCP/IP Standard" port. Once I did this, the spooler started working again.

I have loaded a donated computer (Gateway e machine, Pentium IV) that I loaded with Win Xp sp2, AVG 9.0, SuperAntispyware, Novell Client 4.91 and I setup a HP 3600n and tested it. All was fine. I installed Office 2007 Pro. No problem. When I restarted the machine I started to get error messages the the print spooler app was stopped. I cannot see the printer in the "Printer & Faxes" also I cannot now add a printer. I have had the problem on only one other computer- and it still does not have a printer. I have tried the following.... * installing sp3 * going into Services to start the Print Spooler * downloading from Microsoft the fix and repair program. Ran this and it was not able to fix the problem. * tried to install a HP 2025n-stopped 3/4 through the install * uninstall the printers in the control panel. * crossed fingers * prayer Many Thanks for any help!
