Go to your services and make sure the "print spooler" is started. If not, then start it manually. 2. Delete all your printers from your machine. It may prompt you to reboot if you have any print jobs spooled before it will let you delete the printer. 3. Reboot. 4. Go back to the Printers section in control panel (Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Printers). Right click with your mouse somewhere in the dialog, and click on the last option, "Server Properties" in the context menu. 5. Click on the "Drivers" tab. 6. Find the driver for your printer in the list and left-click it. Now click the "Remove" button to remove the driver from your PC. 7. Reboot your computer. 8. Once you have rebooted, go back to Printer settings (Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Printers) and re-add your printer. When you click "Add Local Printer," make sure to choose the correct port your printer is connected to. 9. When instructed to install your driver, browse to the location of your driver (.inf) and open it. This will install your printer. 10. Done! Do a test print to see if that works. Let me know if this solves your problem and I'll likely make a separate blog post about it to help others. Atef: Try this:

Thanks! I HATE UAC!! Ok now that I got that out... I have had Vista for a week and am VERY frustrated with it, but that was the only option for my new laptop. It will get better though, I hope! I wil be leaving XP on my desktop and old laptop for a while longer than I expected though. Thanks so much for sharing the fixes!!!!! Wow… after almost reinstalling xp I found this site. Thanks!
