Can not go to sleep, "print spooler" which prevent me from entering

Switch to standby mode, print spooler cannot prevent me to enter

It's true...  XP "checks" with everyone of course no process is in the middle of nothing, and if something says it is busy, you will not enter standby.

Looks like your print spooler is somehow watered upward.  I would stop your Print Spooler Service, delete all print jobs, pending or failures of the queue and then restart the Print Spooler Service.

Here's how:

To clear the print queue, stop the Print Spooler Service and delete all the pending print files.
   
You cannot delete all print jobs in the queue so that the Print Spooler Service is running.
      
To stop the Print Spooler Service, click Start, run and enter in the box:
       
services.msc
       
Click OK to open the Services Applet.
       
Locate the Print Spooler Service, right click and choose 'Properties' and then click on the "Stop" button to stop the Print Spooler Service is running.
   
The option "Startup Type" of Service properties print spooler is usually set to "Automatic" (which is now a good time to check it out).
   
If the "Startup type" is not set to "Automatic", set the "Startup type" to "Automatic" If that is your desire (which now is the time to check it out).

Do not try to start or restart the Print Spooler Service again...
   
Then, delete all updates pending upward and forward to printing from XP.  If they do not print before, you will need to send the to the printer again.
   
Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the following folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):
   
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS
       
Delete all the print jobs in queue (select and delete all the files) in the folder if the folder is without waiting for print jobs.  The folder must be empty when you are finished.
       
Reboot your system and check the Print Spooler Service again to make sure the Print Spooler Service restarts automatically restart (given that the startup type is set to automatic).
   
After the reboot, check again the Spooler Service for printing and the 'Status' column for the print spooler must be read "started."

Submit new failure of print jobs.

  • MacBook can not connect to the printer by wireless B110

    Hello

    Whenever I have enable WPA or WPA2 on WiFi security, my Macbook will not be able to print/scan to the B110 printer via wireless network, if I can access the printer with the IP on my browser and scan from the web interface. The PC in my house has no problem. In addition, my Macbook can print/scanning to the printer without any problems if no guarantee is enabled for the wireless network. What is the solution?

    I tried all the suggested solutions, including resetting the printer to the pref, uninstall the HP software, but in vain.

    Config:

    Mac OS X 10.6.6

    Updated to the latest HP printer driver (version 3.2)

    Router: A level WBR-6011

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    It is a router that is provided by your ISP?  What is a DSL or FIOS service?

    If so, we will reinstall the printer this way:

    -Unplug the Internet line, which runs between the router and the wall
    -Cut the power to the router, wait 30 seconds, then turn on the power.
    -Go through the normal process of the printer connected to the router.
    -Now to find the IP address of the printer (it should be on the self-test printout), type it in a browser.
    -On this screen, you will find a tab management network, then on the left wireless, then the IPv4 tab.
    -On this screen, you want to set a manual IP address. You must assign an IP address outside the range that the router sets automatically (called the DHCP range). If you know what it is, set an IP address outside this range but not exceeding 254 (the last number of the address). If you do not know, use the current IP address.
    -Apply the subnet 255.255.255.0 (unless you know it's different, if so, use it)
    -Enter your router's IP (its on the self test print) in the entry door and the first DNS field, leave the second blank.

    -Click 'apply '.
    -Finally, plug the Internet line, restart the router and the test.

  • Photoshop CS can not show the actual print size & other bugs...

    Even if I set in preferences exact points of my screen by thumb (which is 92,72), leaders in mm and the actual printing of the document, size when I click on the print size of display, the document will appear much smaller than actual size! I also put the printer (a printer virtual pdf) in A1 to avoid a possible scale of the print size. If the software has all the necessary information, but still it can't find the actual print size!  You guys think that? Personally, I think that the developers could not understand how to do a simple task either!  Even if I work on photoshop CS occasionally, I found too many bugs to mention.  The most frustrating, is that it suddenly stops responding to the shortcuts! So I have to select all the items in the menus or save, exit, restart and re - open records - now imagine being in the middle of a complicated task...  Another big annoying bug: when I "Select all" to copy a layer, if this layer can have a few pieces surrounded by transparency, Photoshop destroyed their position and the overall picture, in centering arbitrarily these pieces in the glued frame!  In addition, too often all temporarily disappears if I stop for a moment while I drag a marquee selection etc. They did not yet able to move in a gray background without being invisible cursor!  So much for a "professional" expensive application  Note that I installed the patches for this version. I know it is a little dated but as I said, I work occasionally and I don't want to pay hundreds of euros almost every year for a new version upgrade while I'm not yet happy with the previous!   BTW, on this thread editor when I hit 'enter' to start a new line, the cursor goes at the beginning of the document.  Now, are drunk with Adobe web developers, or what?  Sorry, I can't stand too much stupidity right now...

  • My printer HP PhotosmartC-4180 is disconmected from my computer. I can not connect the correct printer.

    my computer is the shot of my devices for scanning and printing, and I can't reconnect.

    I had this problem also.

    This seems to happen when you connect your printer / HP multifunction peripheral to Ethernet network as opposed to via a USB connector.
    What I found that works so far:

    Start-> programs-> HP-> [Look for your device]-> add device

    The above should get your unit added in.
    Once your printer is added in, go to the screen of 'Services' (start-> Run-> "services.msc")...
    and look for an entry that starts: «HP CUE...» ».  Double-click it, and then click on "Stop".  And then change the Startup Type of "Automatic" to "disabled".  So far, which prevented my printer to disappear again.
