When logged on as an administrator, I am able to start the servicei with a
net start spooler command. When logged on as a user, this does not work and I
get an access denied error 5. The only way to get the user to printer is to
(a) make them part of at least the power users group so that they can run the
net start command themselves (not very good for an OS such as XP) or (b)
connect to the computer management mmc to start the service as an
administrator. Option (b) is a bit iffy and might need the command to be run
locally.
