One bit of information left out...
Is the service actually running?

Start button --> RUN --> services.msc
Right hand pane, find "Print Spooler" and make sure it is set to 'Automatic"
and it is started.

Hi there,

Why is everyone typing answers at the bottom I wonder?

I think it takes a lot of scrolling after 40 replies to see what is new

Best regards,

I checked the dependencies tab and found the LexBce server disabled. Making
it automatic fixed the problem. I did not have to reinstall my printers.
Thank you.

First - this is response 6 in this thread.

http://www.caliburn.nl/topposting.html

How to post is up to the individual posting. Sure - there are opinions
about it.

You may request that someone, in a particular case, post/reply so that it is
easier for *you* to follow. In the end, however; it is all personal
preference. While it is true that most of the time (in the world beyond
newsgroups) the question comes before the answer - some like to play
Jeopardy. While it is also true that when someone asks a question - they
expect to read the answer to their question - you have to remember that the
answer is not the only important part of the thread and is *never* just for
original poster - but for the millions who might read the thread in years to
come.

So respond how you like. My only complaint is all capital letters. That is
hard to read.

Reply contextualised/clipped/intertwined

Bottom posting - in general it can make it easier to follow a thread. Its a
personal issue.
I have clipped your post of other posts still attached, but have no
revelance to your question.

> I think it takes a lot of scrolling after 40 replies to see what is new
Yes it can if posters do not contextualise and clip properly.
There are very good reasons for using the recommended newsgroup quoting
style. It has to do with making it easy for others to understand what you
are talking about when you post a reply to anything by placing your comments
into context.
1) If you do not quote at all in a reply you leave the reader guessing at
what you are replying to.
2) If you quote the entire message but then post your reply above or below
the the message you are responding to, and the message happens to be very
long and cover a lot of topics of discussion, again you leave the reader
guessing as to what part of the message your reply was for.
This is why you should put your replies into context.
4) Newsgroup quoting styles have been in use now for well over 20 years,
they are very well understood and accepted quoting practices among those who
participate in newsgroup threaded discussions. Because of that, if you
choose for whatever reason to not follow these accepted practices, then you
invite criticism. Quite often people who fail to follow accepted practices
in threaded discussions and choose to ignore request to start doing so, will
eventually be ignored completely and/or not taken seriously.
5) It's bad form to quote the entire message of an OP (Original Poster)
especially so if that message is more than just a few lines in length,
unless you are doing a point by point response to the message and properly
contextualizing your responses as you go. You should [snip] any comments you
are not responding to.
6) Address the person to whom you are replying and sign off at the end of
your post.
Here are some guidelines about how to correspond in newsgroups

well I am just simple minded and start reading the firtst post and than the
2th and so on. in this way it is always clear to me and most of the people I
know act in that same way, it is also commonly used here.

This style of messaging botom to top mail can give the impression a question
is not answered.

that is why I asked.

Michel Denie
