I have a Windows XP Pro machine w/ a HP Laserjet 1020 that gets the error mentioned in the title. I get this error when I start up the computer or when I try to start/stop the print spooler service. I've looked over several PAQs and found the following solution.
- Next, open the C:\Windows\System32\Spool\
Printers folder.
- Delete all the .SHD and SPL files from this folder.
Once I do that restart the computer everything prints fine for little while. I've actually restarted the computer multiple times w/o any problem. However, as some point, several hour later, the error message returns and I am unable to print again. Any ideas?
