Question : Have to restart service to get network printer to work

Had a Windows 7 PC and connected my HP LaserJet 1020 to it via USB. Then using my other Windows 7 PC I would send a print job to it over the network. It was installed as a network printer. It never printed unless I restarted the Print Spooler service.

I've just replaced the Windows 7 PC with another Windows 7 PC and set the same printer up with it. Again, it will only print when I restart the spooler service!

Anyone have any ideas?

Answer : Have to restart service to get network printer to work

Have the task scheduler stop and start the spooler with the net stop/start.s as above every hour?
Ok to do this as system account.
Not pretty but until Sp1 we can use sticky tape....
