Printer cannot find registry key

Dell AIO 926 Printer (Windows Vista Ult-Dell Inspiron 9400) Printer has stopped working. In event viewer found message - "The print spooler failed to open an existing printer because it could not read the configuration information from the registry key S-1-5-18\Printers\Connections. The print spooler could not open the registry key. This can occur if the registry key is corrupt or missing" Any help would be most appreciated.

Try downloading any new Vista drivers from Dell and install them.
If you already have them, try uninstalling then reinstalling.

Good luck!

Tried that as well as reinstalling printer. Got following message from Microsoft "this error is unrelated to your problem. Windows Printing Team. That,s it!. No advice or suggestions. Seamus Halford
