Kodak printer goosed..seemingly.
« on: September 12, 2011, 06:40:47 PM »
Won't print, and I've reloaded the thingy wotsit too.
All I get is this poxy digital message...
Windows cannot connect to the printer. The print spooler service is not running

Can anyone translate that into Anna log English for me please, preferably with a cure for this rancid heap of techno shite, cus I'm getting quite desperate for  the need to print  travel documents / boarding tickets off now. Banghead

Short answer is to find the installation disc(s) and reinstall the printer .... that usually works.

If you want email them to me, I'll print them and either post them back (you should get them by Thursday/Friday) or you could collect if you are hill walking.
Email address is on me profile..... If you can't find it PM and I'll send it to you.

If I'm posting you'll need to give me an address.

I had to buy a new one from Tesco. BM is an bastard cussing: cussing:

I have three.
Dell Laser B&W only ..... Ideal for magazine as inkjet is just a bit too fuzzy for mass production
Epson Inkjet 3 in one ...... uses ink like a bastard but gives good reproduction if I need colour
Samsung Laser B&W  3 in one .... cheap on toner (6000 copies for about £35) Mostly used by Woodstock to produce "handouts" for her students but is a good back-up for the magazine.

All came free from IJT Inks when I bought a quantity of Ink and/or toner. You have to buy the inks and toners anyway so why buy a printer?  whistle:

Growler, this link takes you to the Kodak support page

http://support.en.kodak.co.uk/app/answers/list/session/L3RpbWUvMTMxNTg2MjY1OC9zaWQvRVFDeFZXRGs%3D%2Fselected%2Ftrue/selected/true/c/890

Enter the printer model in the search and it should give you the up to date drivers to download.
If it gives you options for 2 different types of driver, the postscript version should be the one for you.

If you havent already got an unzip program this is a good free one

http://www.7-zip.org/

Follow the instructions on the webpage to install the new drivers.

Once complete your drivers should be updated and repaired.

Well what's all this about a 'print spooler' then?
Why can't it just come up with a message that sez....GOOSED, speak to the GRUMPYMEISTER.

How it got itself goosed anyway, that's what bugs me. Shrugs:

I shall try your fixes you most excellent and informative geeky geezer.  :thumbsup:
