can you give us more info first...

is it a local printer, or a network printer?

what type of printer is it, eg: epson, hp...

how have you connected to you printer, eg: USB, parelell...

you do have the most recent drivers?

can it print a test page?

is the problem appearing only with one app?

hmm try going to start menu > type in services.msc and see if "Print Spooler Service" is Started. If the service is disabled or just not started, start it.
