Oh god, now bloody what???

For some reason my printers have disappeared. There's an Epson inkjet and a 
Samsung laser which is out of toner and doesn't matter. The Epson is plugged 
in the usb and switched on ok.

Printing worked last week, today I'm told there are no printers do I want to 
install one? Tried yes but it then said it didn't want to because the 
something something spooler service isn't running.

Any thoughts please?

Go to the Run Command on the Start Menu, type in "services.msc" without 
the quote marks, hit [enter].

When the window opens go to Print Spooler and double click the item. You 
need to set "Start up type" as automatic and service type to Start by 
clicking the button. Exit the window and you should be able to install 
your printer.

Sounds like you're having fun Jon.
Try unplugging the dead one just in case it's affecting anything.
Do Start/run then enter 'services.msc' without the quotes
Find printer spooler service. right-click, select properties and see what 
it says for startup type. Should be automatic. Let me know what it says.

and ignore the dicks-for-brains..

You have posted to a special newsgroup set up by
the the NuLabour Government to plug the gaps created by 
the abysmal failure of the Psychiatric Care in the Community Policy. 
which was implemented by the last Tory Government. This
policy was  not only continued but also expanded by this 
NuLabour Government. 
 
The uk.local hierarchy was devised to provide an outlet for
individuals who would otherwise be spending their days sitting
at home wearing an aluminium foil hat waiting for a full moon
to rise. It was hoped that this would reduce the incidence
of nutters out there howling at the moon and frightening the
shit out of their neighbours. Another of HMGs aims and 
objectives was to provide a distraction to take their minds
of the problem of who they were next going to knife to death.
Unfortunately, this group has been taken over by the 
articulate lower middle classes who have succeeding in 
driving HMGs target audience away. Independent research has
shown that it was the amount and quality of the inane drivel,
called small talk which the middle classes are adept at, which
had the effect of doing their heads in. They left to protect what 
was left of their sanity. This has happened to the whole of uk.local.
hierarchy.  This newsgroup in particular is a very good example 
of another HMG failure

I trust this post will help guide you in your future dealings with this
newsgroup.

Thank you.

all solved,
many thanks
