    Hi all,

    bit of a meaty question for the advanced people on here,beats the usual stuff !! ;)

    would anyone here have a decent link that shows all of the associated registry keys that are used by the spooler service (XP).

    I need to make sure all the registry keys are in place on a XP machine to fix a spooler service sub-sytem crash (ya know the one)every time I try to print to a network printer.
    so far I've ..
    a)deleted the printer from the printers and faxes folder
    b)cleared the printer drivers from start->'printer and faxes' then file ->server properties->drivers->remove.
    c) rebooted the machine, restarted spooler service

    so the spooler service is running, it's dependency is correctly set with RPC service, the add printer search will find any of the printers on the network and add them to my client machine(so I think the printer driver download part works!) but...

    when I open the printers folder, then open the newly connected printer queue I can see the jobs others have going to the printer, but I crash my spooler service if I try print anything.

    the driver correctly downloads from our XP print server and shows as the Proper PCL driver. sorry this is long....

    which leads me to believe that all the required files or registry keys are not in place for the spooler service to properly run (reg has been changed).Sooo...does anyone have a 'map' for repairing the spooler service ?

    I have tried sfc /scannow and the res kit program cleanspl which still does not fix it , man it has to be the registry ..

    thanks for reading...any advice short of a reinstall would be great.

    Fionn
