Default Stupid Printer

I have a network printer that i have printed stuff to before. But now it says "cannot connect".

All of the other computers on my network can print. I went in to see what the problem was, it err'd out and said "print spooler service not running" but i checked services.msc and it is running.

Stupid thing

have already unplugged the printer/network cable.

Re installing printer, and re installing drivers after that.

I figured it out, while i was at a hotel room, i set zonealarm firewall to it's highest setting. And that setting does not allow sharing over the network at all.

Set it back to moderate, everything works fine.
