Whenever I try to install a printer I get a "spoolsv.exe" error like this: Spool Error So did all that, still the same. Searched around and Microsoft says it's an Office installation problem and they are aware of it. But that doesn't fix it. So far I have: Deleted normal.dot Uninstalled Office, reinstalled Office Removed every refernce to Office I can find in the Resistry Reinstalled a newer of version of Office.(Legal copy) Expanded spoolsv.exe and spoolss.dll All to no avail. I don't want to have to format a server and reinstall for this, but I just can't get it to work. Larry PS No Windows 2000 cd available for about a week. It's a Dell had to order one.

have you tried getting a fresh copy of the printer driver from the manufacturer's web site??? WILL POST FOR FOOD.

No, but doing that tomorrow. Larry "Have no fear of perfection -- you'll never reach it." Salvadore Dali

Actually, I won't be able to do that because anytime I click on Add Printer, i get the error message. Larry "Have no fear of perfection -- you'll never reach it." Salvadore Dali
