| Guest | Print Spooler I keep getting this warning message in the event viewer: "The print spooler failed to reopen an existing printer connection because it could not read the configuration information from the registry key %1. The print spooler could not open the registry key. This can occur if the registry key is corrupt or missing, or if the registry recently became unavailable." I'll get between 2-6 consecutive warnings at startup.I have no problems printing.I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the print driver.I also tried suggestions from the Event Log Online Help.Any suggestions? |
