I can't get a printer added....I always get the spooler needs to be active. I
have gone in and set to automatic. Still can not get printer installed. I
have downloaded the right drivers and the install gets shut down due to
spooler. What next???

Just tried to start the spooler again.....ERROR:1068 the dependency or group
failed to start...
Wonderful.....any ideas?????

One suggestion: Stop buying lexmark printers

[url]http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324757[/url]

I also addressed this issue by running a lexmark printer removal utility I
found on their site

I let Windows install a driver from windows update rather than using the
Lexmark supplied one
