Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>print_fax (more info?)
On my wireless home network I use an all-in-one for my 4 computers to print
to. Suddenly I am getting an error message on all computers that the "Print
spooler is unable to connect to the printer because the printer is off, the
cable is unplugged or connected to a VPN - - ". The printer is ON, the cable
is plugged in, and I don't know anything about VPN. Any ideas as to how I
get my printer back in operation?

Do you have on PC setup as a print server or are you printing directly
to the all-in-one over the network? What I mean is, if you've
connected to the printer via a share, then perhaps the PC sharing the
printer is off, or the spooler service on that PC has crashed.

this is an error from the HP port monitor.

Thanks for quick reply. All four computers connect to the all-in-one
wirelessly over the network. I can still scan from the all-in-one but can't
print to it.
