Spooler SubSystem.app error

Question

Having uninstalled Windows XP Pro SP2 (had other problems reported earlier) I get a dialog saying 'Spooler SubSystem.app error'. There is nothing now in the Printers and Fax folder and Add Printer said 'operation error'. I tried reinstalling the fax in Add Windows Components and it made no difference.   Anybody help pls?   Its a Lexmark Z35 and USB.   Hiran

Hi Hiran,

Go to Start --> Run .. in the open box type MSCONFIG and click OK --> put a dot on Selective startup and check the option for Load Startup Services and uncheck the option for Load Startup Items .. click on Apply, Close and restart your computer ... Try Installing the Printer Now .. and let me know what happened.

With Warm Regards,
Luqman.

I tried that and it made no difference. When I go to Printers and Faxes and click Add a Printer it says 'Operation Could Not Be Completed'. I get a dialog 'Spooler SubSystem.app error' every now and then.   Hiran

I'm just another computer user, but I had a spooler error message in the Event Viewer. I was given a link to this article:

Maybe something there will help you.
