Here are some ideas:
If you are using Norton AntiVirus, check for updates. See this article from Symantec: Error: "Spool32 error" when printing to a network printer http://tinyurl.com/tey4 If you are using McAfee VirusScan, then see this article from McAfee. Spool32 Errors When Printing After Installing VirusScan on Windows 95, 98 and ME http://ts.mcafeehelp.com/faq.asp?doc...ryId=271&chat= If the printer is not a local printer, install the printer as a local printer. Once installed, go to the Printers folder, right-click the printer icon and select Printer Properties. Click the Details tab and click the Add Port button. Click to select Other and then click OK. In the Port Name dialog box, enter the path to the shared Network printer. It will take the form of \\server\SharedPrinterName. Print directly to the printer. In the printers folder, right-click the printer icon and select Printer Properties. Click the Details tab and click the Spool Settings button. Click to select Print directly to the printer.
