Cari,
The printer is a HP deskjet 670C. Also I don't believe
that my printer driver is the issue. When I built the
system I installed everything in a very meticulous order.
First the motherboard, processor, Ram, Hard drive, Disk
drives, keyboard and mouse and the video card were
installed. Then XP was installed and rebooted, then after
the install the sound card was installed, then the printer
was attached at which time the install wizard started and
failed to load due to the rpc (print spooler) failing to
start. After everything was installed and attached all the
drivers (video card, sound card and printer) were updated
from the manufacture site. I have not checked the link you
mentioned however I will try the COMPLETE clean up as long
as it does NOT require reinstalling XP.I have done this 4
times trying to get the spooler to work properly and
frankly I'm tired of doing so. Thanks.
