Cannot install the printer. spoolersrv has stopped working

setting up a printer and get a message error-spoolersv has stopped working and was closed - what should I do?

original title: Spooler problems

Make sure that the printer is compatible with Vista and that you use the correct software, driver and firmware for the printer AND your version of Vistahttp://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/default.aspx.  Go to the web site of the manufacturer and get the files the most up to date available for your printer and your version of Vista and re - install to make sure that you have the most recent versions (those that come with the printer may be obsolete or wrong operating system).

How do you install the printer?  What is the manufacturer, brand and model printer?  This printer has already worked before or is this new - and if it worked before, it never installed on a Vista system?  Is it on a network or connected to a single PC (and how is it connected)?

Go to start / Control Panel / Admninistrative Tools / Services and check that the print spooler is set to automatic and started - if it isn't.

Check the settings on the control panel of the printer itself to ensure that it is correctly configured.

If necessary, go to start / Control Panel / Printers and right click on the printer and select properties and choose Print directly instead of via the spooler and see if that solves the problem.

I hope this helps.  Keep me in the loop.

Good luck!

    • Have you tried to install the game on another folder and check?

    Program installation or removal fails due to corrupted registry or install blocked key. Follow these methods and check if that helps:

    Method 1: Unregister and register the Windows Setup program again

    1. Click Start, click run, type MSIEXEC /Unregister. and then click OK. Even if you do it right, it may seem that nothing is happening.
    2. Click Start, click run, type MSIEXEC/REGSERVER, and then click OK. Even if you do it right, it may seem that nothing happens, or you can briefly see an hourglass. After you run this command, the operation is complete.

    Try your application based on Windows Installer again.

  • Cannot install the printer. The print processor does not exist.

    Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit.  I am able to install HP LaserJet printers but no virtual printer.  I can not load the XPS from Windows printer or Print to OneNote.  I also tried to load more than one PDF printer and none of them work.  The error I keep gettig to "cannot install the printer.  The print processor does not exist. »

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    My laptop has been reloaded from a picture, and I was not able to start the print spooler at all. I have studied the issue and cleaned files and registry entries and was able to print on real printers, but not virtual. That's when I asked the question.

    Finished reimage the computer again, and once again, I could not start the print service. We discovered that the image that the laptop was built from was actually a VMWare virtual machine, so we started to look in that direction.   We had to delete the following entry in the registry and rebooting, how the print spooler began to work very well.

    [Print HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\ThinPrint for VMWare Port Monitor]

    You wanted to post this in case someone else ran into a similar problem.

    This is what worked for me.

    I copy the files from the print processor from another machine to work with the same architecture as the one who has the problem (x 86 or x 64).

    Step 1: Stop the print spooler service.

    Step 2: Copy all the files and folders on the system to work under C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64.

    Step 3: Make a backup of the system files listed in the C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64 problem.

    Step 4: Paste the files that you copy from the system of work in the case of the United Nations, the problem system.

    Step 5: Start the print spooler service.

    Try to connect or install your net printer and it should work now.

    I hope this work for all of you.

  • I get the message "firefox has stopped working" after closing browser

    Hello.

    My problem is that when I close the FireFox browser, I get the message "FireFox has stopped working". It's pretty boring. I have read some other posts here that describes a similar problem and we tried some of the suggestions in them including:

    A clean install, a reset of the browser, running in safe mode, uncheck hardware acceleration, disabling Extensions and plugins one at a time, uninstall my antivirus (avast), backward to 23.01 and audit version run in compatibility mode that someone claims to be helped. None of this has been effective.

    It seems that after a reboot of the computer, the browser will be ok for 2-4 closures and then it will start by the message at each end. In addition, after uninstalling avast was good for 6 closures. Roll back also gave me approximately 6 free message closures. But then, the messages and does not stop.

    Is there anything else I can try? Thanks in advance for your suggestions.


  • Satellite L500D-144 - CCC of the host Application has stopped working

    Ladies and gentlemen,

    My PSLT6E - 007004GR is almost a year.
    This month, there was an update - possibly to leave Microsoft - and since then popt always at startup in Windows 7 this window and look for solutions:
    Catalyst Control Center. The host Application has stopped working, it is looking for a solution.

    A new installation of the driver graphics card and Catalyst Control Center has not changed. Instead, a standard Microsoft graphics card driver is installed.
    Reset of the system for the month of October has also asked nothing, after fresh updates, the problem recurs.
    Is it reproducible.

    Have already reported more customers or I'm the first?

    What can you do to the problem?

    Sincerely,

    CBluebaerchen

    Hello

    > Reset of the system for the month of October has also asked nothing, after fresh updates, the problem recurs.
    To do this the display of Windows Update driver update?

    If so, restore the system to an earlier point and disable this update of the display driver and choose only the updates of Windows. That s enough.

    Otherwise, you can try running CCleaner. It can clean and fix registry problems.

  • Cannot install the printer HP C4500 on Windows 7

  • Cannot install the printer. The print processor is not (winprint)

    According to the scenario:

    DC1 in site 1 runs Windows Server 2012 Standard, printing and Document services are installed. Many printers are installed and work.

    DC2 in site 2 is running Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard 64-bit, printing and Document services are installed. I want to install printers that users in this site must be able to print with.

    Same printer exist in both sites. In Site 1 on DC1, I was able to properly install the driver, add the port and installed the printer.

    I took the same driver DC2 and installed. I created the Port with the IP address of the printer but when I finish the Add Printer Wizard I get an error message saying: cannot install the printer. There is no winprint print processor.

    I was looking in many forums and before you ask, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Print Processors\winprint key does not exist on two domain controllers (tried to create thispost), but makes no difference.

    The winprint.dll file does not exist in the C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\w32x86 directory on any of the machines, but is located under C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64 on the two machines.

    There seems to be no difference in configuration between these two machines, but as I mentioned abov, on DC1, I'm able to add the printer, and I'm not on DC2.

    Is there anything I can do to get the job to the printer on DC2?

    (And for those who ask why install on a domain controller, there is no member server in this site).

    Thank you

    I'm running Windows 7 (not Vista) and trying to install a Kodak printer driver and get "cannot install the printer. Operation could not be performed. error 0x000003eb"I searched constantly everyday for a fix. You have a solution other than what answers are already in this forum.  I uninstalled and reinstalled tried wireless and usb, installation driver separately, tried to install it in safe mode, run now utility scan.  I think that the problem began with an update of Windows 7 which has hung up and eventually having a corrupted file?

    Hello

    What is the exact model of the printer number?
    I suggest you to check if the printer is compatible with Windows 7:
    If the printer is compatible, then uninstall all the drivers connected the printer to the computer, download the latest drivers from the website of the manufacturer, the install without connection to the printer.
    Connect the printer when it prompts.

    If the problem persists, contact the printer manufactrer for assistance

    When I log on my computer, a window opens in two separate occasions stating that Catalyst Center: the host application has stopped working... How can this be repaired?

    Hi Missy,

    This probably isn't a problem MSE or malware.  It could be a problem with the video software (which is otherwise commonly) and I have it on my system as well for my ATI graphics card.

    This just started recently - as the last day or more?  If so, try a system restore to before it started to see if that helps. If you use Windows 7, seehttp://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/700-system-restore.html. If you are using Vista, seehttp://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/. If you are using XP, seehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084. Sometimes this simple process made the rounds and sometimes that doesn't help - but it is easy and worth if she has recently begun.
