1053 error Code Print spooler could not start

My print spooler does not start and I get the error code 1053

Hi troy,

I've personally encountered this error and had to reinstall my system, but try this:

  • Simultaneously press the keys Ctrl + Win and should bring up a run dialog box
  • Type C:\System32\Spool\Printers in the Run dialog box and a windows Explorer should appear
  • In the folder, delete all the files in the folder

This will delete the documents you have sent to the printer. Then, you start the "Print spooler" service in this way:

  • Simultaneously press the keys Ctrl + Win and should bring up a run dialog box
  • Type net start "print spooler".

Try this and let me know how it goes.

  • Print spooler does not start error 1053

    I have Windows 7 64 bit and the printer has always worked fine until a week ago.  I now have a pop-up message that says "I need to select a printer.  And if I need to install a printer, click Add printer, or find... ».  I click on the printer to find and it is empty.

    I searched the forum for Microsoft and tried the following solutions:

    -I went to Services, checked to see if the CPP is automatic and works.  This is the case.  Then I checked Spoolvs and it is also automatic but not running.  I click on 'Start', but I get an error message 1053 "service did not demand launch or timely control.

    -Command prompt to check all corrupted files.  The results are all ok.

    -Network > the sharing advanced setting > under home or work > under homegroup connections, I ticked the box "user accounts and passwords.  then restart.  The printer has worked for only 2 tests.

    -Leva 'Windows Update' and nothing is needed.

    -A ran a virus scan and everything is fine.

    -Wanted "Event Viewer" > error > Printing Service, the results only with error 2114 «print spooler could not share Canon ink jet with the name of the shared resource in ink jet Canon...» ».

    Hello

    It is not irreparable, but it takes a bit of knowledge. Try the methods that to
    once. As I said seek help from a family member, a friend or a real computer store.

    If you start up and down if you think you can perform these tasks
    even if you don't understand them.

    Make a Restore Point before you start, you can return to where you were like that
    If necessary. (Although to be honest, a serious mistake made by those who is unlikely even if you)
    make a mistake).

    Any other advice would be greatly appreciated...

    Hello yan_dao69,

    I suggest that you try the methods below to solve the problem.

    Method 1:

    I suggest that you run the printer troubleshooter. This will automatically diagnose and fix printing problems:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-printer-Troubleshooter

    Ideally, this would set the print spooler service issues.

    Method 2:

    I suggest that you disable the Antivirus software temporarily and verify if you are able to start the print spooler service. You can check the link that will give you information disable antivirus below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Please make sure that you enable the antivirus software after the test to keep your computer protected.

    Method 3:

    Check the dependency of the spooler services in the registry.

    a. Click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. look for, and then click the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler

    c. right-click on spooler, click Export, save a backup file on your desktop.

    NOTE: If an unforeseen problem be encountered after changing the registry, please double-click on the file to restore the backup.

    d. in the details pane, if the DependOnService value shows values of RPCSS and other key, right-click DependOnService and then click on edit.

    e. in the value data box, delete the other keys and then click OK.

    f. exit the registry editor.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  • Spoolsv.exe - local print spooler does not start

    Dear all

    My local print spooler will not start. After a recent Windows update all my devices when removed, which was a printer. I run the malware and anti spyware software on my PC, remove no matter what malware/spyware, but I can not yet install the printer I have.

    The message I get is "Windows cannot add a printer. The spools of local printer service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine. I tried to restart the spooler but this does not work, I get an error 1068. I rebooted the machine several times; all to nothing does not. The 'service' shows 2 HTTP and RPC dependencies. My understanding is that the only dependency should be the PRC, but I can't change the file. Short to restore PC to factory settings and start all over again, I'm lost. Is there anything else I can try before taking this reconstruction?

    Your

    Doug

    At a prompt (run as administrator), run the following:

    dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS

    Note the space between = and RPCSS.

    This removes any dependencies on the spooler and restore the default RPCSS dependence.

    One of the problems with viruses and malware is that there is no real way to know what exactly it is they changed on your system, the more benign virus may be easy to remove but never pests morphing and a constant flow of new pests pushed one never knows how a machine is compromised.  After the withdrawal of an infection, you should always ask yourself if you can really trust the machine, if you don't know if the answer is no, the only course of action is to flatten and rebuild the machine.   Disk imaging/cloning utilities are perfect for this, they can help you get your machine running in a minimum of time and upward.

  • Error message "a program could not start. Please try again"when I try to send Remote Assistance invitation.

    original title: Remote Assistance does not work

    Win XP PRO SP3

    Question #1:

    When you try to send an invitation to support remote I get an error message "a program could not start. Please try again. »

    This error pops up before even the invitation is created, so the problem is with the creation of the invitation and not with problems of subsequent connection between the computers. The invitation is never created. This happens on several computers I own or maintain.

    The event log records all errors when this happens.

    I searched for hours all over the Internet and a lot of people seem to have this problem. Some it is resolved, for the most part, they needed to start a service, but the cause of their problem is not the same as mine.

    After restarting the computer, sometimes the invitation creation works fine.

    Other DIY suggests when the problem appears it can be corrected by running the command 'sessmgr-service' in a command line window. After executing this line it seems that the problem is resolved.

    What I find disconcerting is that Sessmgr.exe is the service Remote Desktop Help Session Manager that was already running, but for some unknown reason runs this line made work again right. I'll have to experiment more.

    Is it possible to debug and fix this?

    Question #2:

    When I can finally send an invitation it will work on the local network but not on the Internet. I can't connect to the Internet.

    I'm looking at the structure and the content of the invitation to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc240167(v=prot.10).aspx
    In the example given here, as in the generated invitations in my experiences, the invitation contains only the LAN IP addresses (with port number) but no global address.
    RCTICKET =... 192.168.1.65:3389; Jeff: 3389

    How the computer expert is supposed to understand the global address to which it should connect is a mystery to me.

    How can I get Remote Assistance to work on the Internet?

    Hello mtb123,

    1. have you tried the steps suggested by Srinivas R in the previous post to make a startup on your computer repair using the Windows installation disc?

    2. you remember what changes you made to the computer before you start this error?

    I suggest that you access the system recovery options using a Windows Vista installation disc and do a startup repair and if this fails, you can do a restore of the system from the Windows recovery environment.

    You can see the previous post of Srinivas R to verify the information on the system restore.

  • Windows 7 printer spooler does not start

    just my printer spooler does not start in Windows 7.  I received a message that the spooler wasn't running when I tried to use it today.  I used the printer for a few days. "net start spooler" fails from the administrator command prompt.  I checked that the CPP is running.

    I installed SP 1 yesterday with success, but I went back to the restore point, but still, the spooler does not start.

    The system acts as the spooler is missing.

    How can I solve this problem?

  • Printer spooler will not start error 1053

    Hello

    I got a Lexmark X 4550 printer installed on my Windows 7 x 64 inspiron for a few months now. Steeplechase the printer would not print that's never happened before. When I went to devices it says there was a problem with the printer and she needed troubleshooting. The store could not find a solution. I found a few fixes suggested online and you have tried without success. However, I discover that the printer spooler has been arrested. When I tried to restart services it came with an error that says: -.

    Windows cannot start the service on the local computer printer spooler

    Error 1053: The service did not demand launch or timely control.

    I checked that it is configured to run automatically, and when I checked the dependencies that I discovered that the remote procedure call was arrested and the manual value. I have reset automatically and it started successfully. This did not however fix the printer spooler error.

    I uninstalled the lexmark software and tried to delete the printer driver - this has not helped either.

    I also tried the following: -.

    Open a command prompt window

    the control key;
    dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS

    Restart the print spooler

    This did not help also.

    I tried the list in the folder of the coil of compensation, but there's nothing in it.

    I totally ideas, suggestions on how to fix this? I think that Windows had a fix for this problem on XP and Vista, but I can't find one for windows 7. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    James (and all those who have contributed so far),

    I found this offer on the Microsoft Answers site forum.  It's by a guy named encro.

    Let me know if it works, I don't have access to a printer for the moment.  I'd be more interested in your results, whether it is successful or not.

    The solution: get the spooler to start!

    This seems to be a very common problem on Windows 7, caused by a recent update 'Important' within the late March/early April. I found the fix for this while working on a clients machine and noticed something abnormal in that the print spooler was not actually the print spooler it is why it wouldn't start. Now that our team have set about 20 machines using this process, I'm confident enough, that this is workaround until a future WSUS update corrects this correctly. It's still speculation at this point because log files have not really brought to this day a lot of troubleshooting help this and it can be not linked to a KB from Windows Update.

    I'm still trying to determine the real Windows Update update that caused the problem to inform Microsoft of bug but the problem goes something like this:

    Determine if this is the case on your computer.

    Verify the existence of spoolsv.exe.org and spoolsv.exe in %windir%\system32 (C:\Windows\System32)

    If both exist then it is likely the following problem.

    Compare the spoolsv.exe file size

    Sometimes the real spoolsv.exe is called spoolsv.exe.org [545KB] and instead of spoolsv.exe place will actually be a file 41KO posing as the print spooler. I guess the system saved the original spooler at a given time and accidentally replaced it with something else. Spoolsv.exe should be the file 545KO at this point.

    Correction of the problem

    Step 1: Spoolsv.exe and rename it spoolsv.bak

    Step 2: Spoolsv.exe.org and rename spoolsv.exe

    Rename spoolsv.exe.org here is a bit more tricky because it requires to change the property file from TrustedInstaller to the administrator group and giving the full group write permissions for the file. Without doubt, this has security implications, it is recommended to restore the permissions once the file is renamed.

    By changing the property of the file from TrustedInstaller to administrator then activation full of change to the administrator group, you can exchange files by the name change and correct this problem.

    I usually and rename spoolsv.exe spoolsv.bak and then rename spoolsv.exe.org to become the real spoolsv.exe.

    Step 3:

    Start the print spooler via Services (services.msc) or at the command prompt by using net start spooler.
