Printer Services Haywire & "Add Printer" Broken
Hi. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Suddenly, my printer no longer receives recognition from the computer. It worked just fine for over 6 months, and simply won't be recognized any longer. Re-installing drivers doesn't help. Any ideas?
I have attached some pictures for reference. It seems the computer recognizes the hardware is there, and that it is an HP Laserjet 1018 installed. The services that normally run in the background responsible for printing seem to be haywire, though.
One dialogue says that the "print spooler service" is not running. Huh? Another said, "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable."
