(error 0x000006be) print spooler problem__

Hi,

The main problem is caused by corrupt printer drivers, so you need to check with your printer maker to

get the latest drivers (just re-installing the old ones will likely lead back to this errors). Make sure you

get the ones for your version of Windows and 32 or 65 bit.

Error message when you try to connect to a print queue in Windows Vista or in Windows Server 2008: "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000006be)"

==========================================

Use this method to clear the spooler then uninstall and reinstall your printer (check with the maker forthe latest driver).
