Error 1068 on vista print spooler stopped

warren124 on Aug 08, 2008

" "
While trying to install a windows xp version of a lexmark x4270 on to a vista and download the drivers for vista my printer spooler stopped and will not restart. I've done a reboot, deleted printer drivers and reinstalled them. Went to services and pressed start spooler, nothing. Help!

-   I have same problem as Warren124. I think it is safe to say that the printer WAS NOT compatible for me in this instance. I have downloaded regfix and this has not helped. I cannot start the spooler and get a 1068 error when I do. I am running vista. Any guidance would be great as I am totally stuck to do my homebased work. Cheers -   Guest

-   I have a X2250 Lexmark, also when trying to install it stops saying the spooler service has stopped and everything goes bad from there. It is Vista 32 with latest updates. Tried the whole clean drivers and registry things from all the other forums, but still can't print to the printer. -   renes774

well..for beginners, did you check for the Vista compatibility with this printer? Also, you MAY need SP1 for Vista, which had a ton of driver updates.
