“Operation Could Not Be Completed” When Using Add Printer Wizard

by alanbradley . Updated 16 years, 3 months ago

I have been using a printer and a fax program for some time until now, when they just disappeared from the Printers & faxes folder.
I cannot print or fax from any program now.

In the Add printer wizard I try to add a printer and I get the comment
“Operation Could Not Be Completed”

The printer and fax drivers are shown to be working. Print spooler is switched on and set to automatic.
Further to this problem, I have tried to restore the Op.system.
I have 3 dates over the last 5 weeks, but none of them will restore.
The restore calendar will not go back beyond June.
A further problem occurred, I think at the same time. AVG antivirus and Spycatcher do not start with windows, although Spycatcher is listed in Startup and the box is ticked. the AVG files are no longer listed. Fortunately, both will start manually.

I’ve been trying to use my printer and fax for days now. I’ve tried every method in the book”.
Has anyone had this problem? If so, please tell me how to solve it. Apart from reinstalling the O.S.
Thanks
