Question : Problem: printer splooler issue

I have an hp laser 1020 printer connected to a windows xp pro computer. I installed the printer and everything works fine for a few days or a few weeks then the printer spooler stops working and I get errors stating that the spooler service is not turned on. after I turn on the server and get a printer spooler error and the service turns off.

when I remove the hp laser 1020 printer the spooler stay running and i have no errors.

Now I have a different computer with the a different printer installed (same model hp 1020) and I have no issue with that system and that printer. but with the other printer and the other computer I do.

is it a driver issue? if so can i copy the drivers on the other computer know that that computer works fine?

how can i install a local printer where the drivers are install on a different local computer.

The first thing you require is an Attitude Adjustment Utensil (AAU).  I find an 4 KG sledge hammer most satisfying.  Apply the AAU liberally about the device until it has had its attitude adjusted to something resembling Cylindrical Filing Cabinet filler.
Have a cup of coffee or what ever barbecues your steaks and then go out and buy another printer.  Your time is worth much more than this pile of junk.  I have spent hours farting around with one.  To date about $600.00 in time.
Email HP a nasty diatribe complaining about the quality of their drivers.
There is a post about the size of Encyclopeadia Britanica on the HP web site specifically about this printer. By looking at it I estimate the there are several lost man/woman/person  years lost in these POWOCs (Pile Of Wobbly Old Crap).
