SHared Printer has message: Unable to connect"I have a DI-624 D-Link router with several computer. I was ablle to make my
USB-connected LEXMARK X1185 printer a shared printer. It is connected to the USB port on my DELL desktop. After a couple of minutes, when I check the Properties for it from another computer (my GATEWAY PC), I receive the follwoing message: "Printer properties cannot be displayed. The print spooler service is not running". If I try to open the printer queue, it shows the printer name with a message "Unable to connect". What did I do wrong? Why can't I maintain a connection to the shared printer from other computers on the newtrok? Please advise. Thanks. Tony V

Next, uninstall it on the machines it isn't connected to and install it as a networked device there, too. It sounds like your printer has become screwed up. Also, go to start, run and type "sfc /scannow" (no quotes) and hit enter. Make sure your XP disk is in the drive before you do this. It checks all windows system files. After doing that, reboot the machine. It is more likely your printer installation is screwed but it could also be a windows system file error causing this.
