Comment: Suddenly, one machine lost all its printers, and even the add a printer icon is missing from the printers folder. This is on a NT40 network. Has anyone ever encountered this? The RPC service is started. My only thought is corrupt dlls, but I don't know the entire list of dlls and services the print engine uses. I would appeciate any assistance and ideas anyone has.
thank you

Reply: (edit)I've heard of this happening before. All the user did was to reboot the PC and all the printers including the Add A Printer icon returned. Not sure if it would work for your issue but it's worth a try.

Reply: (edit)This is a not uncommon occurance.It has happened to me with NT and 95. It tends to occur when you encounter problems adding a printer or changing a print driver etc. reboot and your printers should reappear. if not contact Microsoft.

Reply: (edit)Check the spooler service in the control panel, services. Make sure the service is started and the startup property is set to automatic.
