    Hi
    Im using VMware Player 5 on my Inspiron 7520 running windows 7 home premium and after using it i find that all my printer devices are no longer available.
    If trying to print even to a file i get message Print Spooler not running and when i try and start the spooler service manually i get massage start failed error 1053.
    Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know what the answer to this problem is? Im wondering if its a compatability problem or do i need to set up VMware Player in some way to run on my system.

    Any help is appriciated.
