    This seemed to crop up at my last job after a certain Windows update hit (on XP Pro). It seemed restarting the print spooler service was the only way to fix it and worked 99% of the time. Go into services (start->run..."services.msc") and find it in there and make it restart.

    Try switching print drivers if you can.

    I don't believe it - I'm on my THIRD PS3, and my FIRST XBOX360. What the heck?
