You might see it spool on the server then disappear or the job never gets back to the client.
1. Click Start, search for cmd.exe
2. Right click on cmd.exe
3. Click on ‘Run as Administrator’
4. Type “C:\” w/o the quotation marks and then Press Enter.
5. Type CD\Windows\System32\Spool and then Press Enter.

The recovery process requires a Hex Editor. For the screenshots below, I’ve used HxD which is free and comes in many languages. There is also a portable version of HxD which doesn’t require any local installation. There are many other Hex Editors to choose from as well.
20 (hexadecimal value for a space).
Tip!
If you are using HxD, then you can also select block 7 through 13 in the left column and choose;
Edit-> Fill Selection…-> button OK
This will fill the blocks with 00, which will work just as well.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
The Personal value is the path to My Documents
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
Again, the Personal value is the path to My Documents
The “Shell Folders” key is obsolete. Make alteration in the “User Shell Folders” key instead. Set “Personal” to “%USERPROFILE%\Documents”

Guide to making a bootable USB drive using Vista or Windows 7
(Note: this guide will not work on WinXP.)
1. Insert your USB stick into USB port (MUST be 4GB or higher).
(Note: Backup the data on your USB drive as we are going to format it.)
2. Open the Command Prompt: (follow steps listed below to do this)
Go to Start Menu >
All programs >
Accessories >
Right click on ‘Command Prompt’
Select ‘Run as Administrator’
3. When the Command Prompt opens, enter the following command:
DISKPART (hit enter)
LIST DISK (hit enter)
(Note: Once you enter the LIST DISK command, it will show the disk numbers of all drives connected to your PC)
4. In this step, enter all the below commands one by one and hit enter:
SELECT DISK 1 (Replace “DISK 1″ with your USB drive’s disk number, For example: If your usb is 4GB,
and Disk 2 shows 4000mb disk size, type SELECT DISK 2, as that is your usb drive)
CLEAN
CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
FORMAT FS=FAT32 (Format process may take a few minutes, depending on the size of the USB drive)
ASSIGN
EXIT
(Note: Don’t close the command prompt as we need it for the next step. Just minimize it)
5. Insert your Windows DVD in the DVD drive.
Note the drive letter of the DVD Drive and USB Drive.
(Here I use “D” as my DVD drive letter and “F” as my USB drive letter)
NOTE: Drive letters can be assigned or changed. In the start menu right click “Computer”,
select “Manage”. A window will open. Select Disk Managment (Near the bottom of the list
on the left side panel), Right click a drive to assign, change or remove the drive letter).
6. Go back to command prompt window and execute the following commands:
D: CD BOOT (Where D: is your DVD drive letter) And hit Enter.
BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 F: (Where F: is your USB drive letter) And hit Enter.
XCOPY D:\*.* /S/E/F F:\ (Where D: is your DVD drive, and F: is your USB Drive) And hit Enter.
8. Wait for DVD contents to copy to USB.
You are done with your bootable USB. You can now use this bootable USB as bootable DVD on any computer
that comes with USB boot feature (most of the current motherboards support this feature).

Ok. Here’s how to reinstall your Factory Image manually as long as the Factory Image partition is intact.
First, go here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=94bb6e34-d890-4932-81a5-5b50c657de08&DisplayLang=en
Download the Windows Automated Installation Kit. Burn the WAIK ISO image to a DVD using Roxio, Nero or whatever DVD burning software you have that can burn ISO images
Now, insert the DVD in a computer running Vista or Windows XP SP2 system with KB926044. Install the WAIK.
Navigate to the Program Files folder where WAIK was installed. Find the Tools subdirectory. Under it you will see four folders: AMD64, IA64, SERVICING, and X86. Copy these folders to a USB drive. They total less than 100Mb, so you can use a 128Mb USB flash drive if need be.
If you have installed Vista on the C:\ drive, then you can simply boot up your system. Locate the file name factory.wim on the Factory Image partition. Make a note of the drive letter and path to that file. On an Inspiron 1720 it is located in D:\Dell\Image\Factory.wim
On eMachines and Gateway computers the file is found in the Recovery partition under Preload\boot.wim
Now go to the command prompt by typing CMD in the Run box. If Vista is not installed on the C:\ drive you can boot the system with a “live” CD such as Bart’s PE or UBCD for Windows and shell to the command prompt. Navigate to the Tools\x86\ folder on your USB flash drive.
Type the following command: imagex /apply d:\dell\image\factory.wim 1 c:\
Your system should be restored to its original “as-shipped” configuration in about 30-45 minutes.
Note that this restores Dell’s Proprietary Master Boot Record so that in the future will be able to access the Factory Image by pressing F8 while booting up.

Everyone,
This is what I had to do to get my printer working after Vista messed it up. You do the first two steps to the computer where your printer is connected. The last step you do to your laptops or what ever computer you want to connect to the main computer printer. I hope this helps.
