Hi, I have a network. In my network I have a computer which is sharing a printer. I would like through my ACER Aspire ONE laptop, which has wireless network, to install the printer driver so I can print my documents. But when I'm trying to do this, the "Spool Service" (of the printer) is suddently stopped working. So I went to the Services application to re-enable it, and it worked - but when I tried again to install the printer driver, it happened again. Did someone meet the same problem? Thanks

Can you set the service to automatically restart when it fails?

Hello TalEylon,Attaching network printers has proven somewhat problematic due to lack of updated drivers. One successfull method I have used is as follows:!!Have many different driver versions in a shared folder on the host machine.1. Select add-printer, choose to install a local printer(i know doesn't sound right)2. On the next page choose standard TCP/IP port and enter the IP address of the host machine. After scanning for a bit it will ask you to choose the port of the host machine(My printer is plugged in USB on host machine) choose USB port 1(this option lets me choose lexmark usb port 1)3. The computer will scan for a bit and then say it couldn't find and provide a list of printers and drivers from the database, choose Have Disk. Navigate through the network and find the driver folder until you find a working version.This is generally the part where the action center will come in handy if the drivers fail to load. Running the drivers in compatibility mode will like be the solution.Hope this helps-Scott

I notice few have tried to do things this way but I urge you to give it a try. 1. Plug the printer into your laptop. Windows will try to install it. If this works, great, just need to change the port it uses to it's IP address on the network. If not... 2. Install newest drivers available on the manufacturer's website. Make sure you can print locally . 3. Once you can print locally, disconnect the printer from your laptop and change the port to the IP of the printer on the network.
