I have installed a new computer running MS XP Pro with SP3. &nbsp;It has 1 local printer and 2 network printers. &nbsp;after about a week, end user started getting this error message and all the printer icon's were missing from the &quot;printer and faxes&quot; page. &nbsp;If I manually start the printer spooler service the icons come back, but if i try to print or open properties I get this error message again and the service is shutdown. &nbsp;I tried a hot fix from Microsoft without seccess, and most of the solutions I have found on the internet refer to exchange server.
