Originally posted by Dornroschen View Post. Thanks Lisa, that's useful to know! May I ask why you have removed such a useful feature, thus discouraging us from updating to the latest version?

Is it to force those who want to create PDF files to use a paid-for solution, or for some other reason? See my other reply in another thread. Have you tried updating to SP2? I have a similar problem. If I try to add a new printer using the "Add Printer" wizard, I get a dialog with the message: "Printer driver was not installed. Operation could not be completed. It doesn't matter what options I choose in the wizard - the problem happens regardless of what printer or port I select.

If I could just convince a couple of customers to switch OS's, I'd install Linux on all my boxes, burn all my Windows disks, and never look back. Very frustrating. Go to the manufacturer's website and download the latest drivers and follow their instructions for properly install the printer. Post Reply. Network Printers and Web Services.

Monday, January 30, PM. I work as tech support for my office and have had this same problem with two laptops in my office. I have several network printers and copiers I use in the office. They just disappeared and upon finding that I couldn't add any printers because the print spooler was stopped, I began searching for answers. I cant get the print spooler to run properly. The service fails to start at boot time.

Manually starting it doesn't work because when I run Add Printer it just crashes. Any suggestions? Monday, February 13, PM. There was no problem with the Mac, only the PCs In our case, rebooting the PCs caused all of the printer drivers to reappear, and printing resumed normally.
