printer spooling stops even after a restart
I have been using windows 7 without a problem on my laptop for about 3 months now. I have all the updates installed.
I have a series of printers that have worked without an issue for the past 3 months.
Just yesturday, I was in adobe and tryed to print a PDF when the program said I have no printers installed, I went to word and it said the same thing.
I opened up device manger and navigated to printers and I did not see a list of any printers installed.
I restarted the printer spooling in the admin Services area.
Once I restarted the spool, the printers reappeared. Once I tried to modify a printers properties, print a test page or print a document, the printers would diappear.
I would go back to the services area and have to turn printer spooling back on but it keeps stoping when I do something print related.
any advice....
