Kodak printer goosed..seemingly.

Print spooler not running is not really anything to with drivers, it a Windows Service.

You need to get to the Services panel via Control Panel, find the Print Spooler service and check its status, then try starting it. Hopefully it will then run. May stop on reboot.

Last time I fixed this for someone it was triggered by a badly written virus.

Growler, this link takes you to the Kodak support page

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.

Couldn't get those 'thingy links to werk properly. Suspect it's just me being a bit lot of a I.T. numpty brain tbh. I really couldn't understand them, 'specially the first one.

Strange thing is, it'll print stuff of Werd and that other Office stuff, but just not off anything intermong related. This drwas me to the conclusion that the printer ISN'T goosed at all, it must therefore be this intermong thingy whatsit gubbins machine.

I'm going to have a good rummage to see if I can find the original disc to re-load. Failing that, Mr Geek my friendly but expensive pooter geek will have to be summonsed.

Tried  that and failed miserably again too.

If it prints from werd it isn't goosed.... 

Are you sure that your Internet browser is defaulting to the right printer...?

[GROWLER]

It asks me to find a printer, so I tap in Kodak ESP 3250, and then it comes up with this stoopid 'spooling goosed message'thing.

Bloody HATE it!

Apart from aoHELL, I sometimes use Firefox and Internet explorer.

Dunno. Not tried. On me way.

[GROWLER]

Yup! IT WERKS!!!

So that means it's a aoHELL related problem then I suppose...suprise supbloodyrise?

This thing has been playing up quite badly ever since I got a bollocking off them, and final written warning for posting summat on one of their news items comments column that they didn't like.

Now aoHELL is goosed. Home page won't load up properly, so I've come across to Firefox.

I wish I could bin them, but 1) i'm stuffed into a contract for another 12 months or so, including land line useage, and 2) I've been reading absolute HORROR stories from users trying to escape from their clutches, including geeky I.T. types that have struggled for weeks too.

We did tell you to dump them years ago....
