New fileserver now network printer not working-HELP!?

Question

Yesterday our office's file server went out and was replaced but now one of our printers (an HP LaserJet 3500N) is not working. An error pops up on computers saying the print spooler service is not running. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Check the status of the Spooler service on the server...

quickest way, Right Click on My Computer, select MANAGE, double click SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS then double click SERVICES.

In the SERVICES window, scroll down until you find PRINT SPOOLER. Make sure it is set to AUTOMATIC and STARTED. If it's not, double click it, once in properties, go to the STARTUP TYPE drop down and select AUTOMATIC... then click the START button and Apply / OK
