ameetbarve,
This seems to be a fairly common problem when using Lexmark printers with Windows XP. Is your printer a Lexmark? If so then the problem is very likely being caused by the printer's driver service setting the standard Win XP spooler service to be dependant upon it. Review
this thread at Annoyances.org and
this one at experts-exchange.com.
You must first question, what system are you running?
If XP:
-Control Pannel
-Performance and maintenance
-Administrative tools
-Services
-Print Spooler (Right Click - Properties)
-Dependacy Tab
In the 1st box it should show 1 or 2 processes needed to run the Print Spooler. The 1st should be the RPC and the second should be LexbCE.
Go back to the services screen and locate them go to there properties and ensure that they are both set to automatic then start them! Now your problem should be fixed!
