Printers installed but not available

[qureshi]

Hi,
Couple of weeks back, one of our computer had a virus Opaserv-d and opaserv-g. I got rid of the virus but it has maybe damaged some files.
There were about 5 printers installed on the computer. One printer is local the rest are on the network. When I tried to print a document. The error messahe was something like "No printers available".
I deleted the printers and installed them back again. I can see the printers now but it wont print to the local printer.
Is there a way I can repair the "printer folder"
Thanks in advance
Qureshi

From your post, I gather your local printer is the only one giving you a problem and that since deleting and reinstalling the network printers work fine. An easy fix may be to just reinstall the drivers for the local printer if this is the case. The virus obviously attacked the Printer files on the pc, so it's a good possibility that the local printer drivers are corrupted.
If you have a hard time with XP reinstalling the drivers, try deleting them first and reaquiring them from either the cd/disk or from Windows Update if the support is built into XP.
