> Error while spooling "". Unable to start the spool manager.

I have had this problem, and successfully resolved it. I also noticed
that by terminating the task "rundll32" from the task manager, the
printer worked without the error.

In my case, this rundll32 process was created by
"NDNUninstall6_30.exe"

Simply remove the new.net software to cure this problem. Use the well
documented removal instructions to make sure every trace of it is
gone. One place that had accurate info at the time of writing this

Viva la Spyware !
