re: Spooler problem Tuesday, August 6, 2002 at 3:17 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by VERITY (78 messages posted) Give this a try... be sure the printer is discon from the laptop. unistall printer and software completely. then go to CONTROL PANEL, ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS, and scroll down to PRINT SPOOLER, change startup type to AUTOMATIC. Reboot machine, connect printer, should automatically be detected. If you need to, check LEXMARK site for latest XP drivers... if there are more recent drivers available, download and install. Let us know if it resolved issue. As far as the fax option, you will need the XP disk to reinstall the fax option, unless you have a copy of xp on your HD... good thing to do with any os... this way if you do lose the cd... pull from HD...
