Hello,
I am having HP Deskjet 4200 connected to my desktop. And I am having a laptop with which I want the printer to be shared. Both of my pcs are having windows xp as OS. And I am using PRONET wireless router for accessing internet. I am able to share the drive between these pcs but I am not able to share my printer between these. I have made my printer shared from my desktop. I tried to trace the error in it then it showed me that print spooler service is not running on your pc. Also I checked the service using services.msc but it is running. So what should be the problem that I am not able to share the printer? Please Suggest me…………….

Thank you so Much!!

Hi,

Use the printers driver install disk to install the drivers on to the laptop.

Hope it will help you.

It might be due to XP's data execution prevention.

5. Click Add
6. Add C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe
7. Select Open
8. Select OK when you receive the warning
9. Select Apply

Method #2

1. Start>Run>Type "services.msc"
2. Under Services locate "LexBce Server">Properties>Under General Tab go to "Start up type" and select Automatic.Click ok
3. Go to "Print Spooler" verify that Startup Type is set to Automatic>then Start the Service Status >click ok
4. Control Panels>Printers>add your printer.

Method #3

1. Start>Run>type NET STOP SPOOLER and press OK
2. Start>Run>type NET START SPOOLER and press OK

Hope it helps.
