Printer communications error

[J1mmy]

I appear to be getting error messages, one something along the lines of 'sysmte spooler app has stopped working', and the other say 'printer communications system has stopped'

I've done some research, I tried one solutions, but that didn't work

Appear to be getting sounds like you're not sure

Printer Make n Model number is?

Guessing you're running Vista?

What's the history/rest of the story behind the problem? Has the printer ever worked on this machine? Does rebooting help etc...?

Control Panel->Admin Tools->Services->look for the System Spooler and try to start it.

Samsung SCX 4200

I don't think it's an issue with the printer as the printer has been working with no problems. I have been installing and upgrading drivers, but nothing to do with printer drivers so i don't know why this error has come up.

Yes printers have always worked, I've rebooted..nothing

I started it, still an error. Installing the driver again also failed.

Service Pack 3 can cause printer spooler problems.

Your best bet is deleting the printer and uninstalling all Samsung software. Find the oldest drivers for that printer that you can find and install them.
