Cannot start Windows Task Manager printer spooler, Service.
When I try to start the spooler printer of Windows Task manager, it gives me an error message - operation failed. I need to get this started to launch my new brother FAX/printer. Help, please. Thank you. JoB
Hello JoB777,
Thank you for your message. Give a try:
Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
Expand "Services and Applications" > select 'Services '.
Double-click on "RPC Remote Procedure Call () ' > ensure that the startup type is set to automatic and that the service is started, if not select 'start'"
Double click on 'Print spooler' > ensure that the startup type is set to automatic and that the service is started, if not select 'start '.
Test for features, once you have verified that the print spooler is running, restart your computer to ensure that the service is started automatically. Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem. I'm moving this thread to the Hardware forum.
See you soon

When I click with the right button on a particular printer and try to view the properties of it, I get the following message:
Printer properties cannot be displayed. The print spooler service is not running
It is, it is run as go to-> Services administrative tools in the Control Panel checks.
One of the 'printers', I installed is "send to OneNote 2007". I can click right on this very well - just not this another printer. I'd be able to do if the print spooler is not running?
Indeed, if I turn off the print spooler, * all * printer in "Printers and faxes" disappear. So the fact that I'm still see them first place suggests to me that the printer spooler is running.
I posted this on Microsoft.public.windowsxp.general a while ago and someone suggested that I visit this site . Problem is C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS is empty. It is empty when the print spooler is running and it is empty when it is not.
Also, I was unable to install KB896423 since I am running SP3. Try to install he did the following:
Setup has detected that the version of Service Pack for this system is newer than the update you are applying.
There is no need to install this update.
The printer is a "local printer attached to this computer" connected via a "Standard TCP/IP Port". Personally, I think such a printer should be called "a network printer or a printer attached to another computer", but that is the terminology used by the "Add Printer Wizard".
Hello terrafrost,.
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.
What is the model number of the printer that you are using?
Printing a "Standard TCP/IP Port, is used for a printer that is directly connected to a network, not on your local system.
I would try to uninstall your printer and reinstall your printer.
Hope this helps Chris.H

This PC had a fairly recent reinstallation of Windows 7, then he started screening blue, run system restore a few weeks and works very well, but it will not be printed. When you try to install a printer, it gives a 0x000006ba error code and says that failed to start the spooler.
The spooler may start, but stops when you try to install the printer.
So far, I have:
ran sfc/scannow
Re-registration of dll
replaced spoolsv from the windows disk
has run a few utility programs such as tweaking.com, UVK and combofix
Chkdsk /r
restored back as it would go
remove the old printer
drivers wanted and removed old print
deleted registry entries
shown ancient and hidden devices in the Device Manager and remove the
and basically, did every challenge on the internet.
Before I'm stuck reloading this machine again, I'd like to get some really advanced or random fixes that worked for you, when others have not.
Thank you.

Hello
After upgrading to windows 7 Home premium 64 bit vista family premium 64-bit, I expected to be able to connect my EPSON Stylus D68 printer on my laptop and leave immediately. However, when I tried to do this installation constantly failed. Therefore, I went to the manual add the printer option in the menu devices and printers. However I met this error message: "Windows cannot add a printer. The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spoiler or restart the machine,"after reviewing the existing forums on the issue, I tried to restart the services option. However, the restart option has been obscured and when I just tried to start then I met an other error message: "windows could not start the spooler on the local computer service, error 1053: service has failed to demand launch or control in a timely. more when I click Properties to the spooler in the description it says failure to read the description. error code: 1813. This is all very frustrating for someone who just wants to add a printer to his laptop computer. can someone please? because I am all of these ideas.

The Print Spooler Service is not running. Operating system is Windows XP Service Pack 3.
I followed the suggestion to use start > Control Panel > administration tool > services > print spooler > properties.
System in automatic mode but State of the said service stopped.
I get error 1075: the dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.
Printer worked this AM, but stopped working between two print jobs.
I used Mr. Fixit to diagnose and fix the problem. Mr. Fixit indicates the print spooler service is not running, but cannot fix it.
Is there a source code for Windows XP service pack 3 which can be downloaded to replace the corrupted code?
Thanks for your help
Robear:
I'll be back of the travel. I'm after the suggestion of CARI. Seems to be the right track.
My print spooler system component is missing from the remote procedure call. If I restore it, I think that the print spooler is reactive. Suggestions of curry hit Start, Program Files, accessories and they type net start spooler. However, after the departure, I don't see any Program Files, so am unable to complete the suggested path.

I tried all of the suggestions posted and have had no success in restarting my print spooler. Help, please.
Original title: I tried to restart the print spooler as directed, and he returned the error 2: the system cannot find the specified file. He does that and is it fixable?
@Winston Microsoft M committed Support Engineer 'expert '.
I can see your response that you did take the time to reproduce the problem and then try your own ideas to check if the problem persists.
Here is what I suggest to you, so you can learn how XP actually works:
Start in the XP Recovery Console or Safe Mode, so Windows File Protection does not run.
Rename your file c:\windows\system32\spoolsv.exe you can remember (such as spoolsv.bak). Now, the file is "absent".
Restart normally.
Then try to start the Print Spooler Service and you will see the error.
So why don't you follow your own advice and run SFC and troubleshooting automated (as you suggested) and check if the problem persists.
Please report your results.
When you see that it does help and that SFC does not replace the missing or damaged file (in the system32 folder) and that the automated troubleshooter does not help, will sing it a different song (we hope).
Don't forget to rename your spoolsv.bak to spoolsv.exe when you're done messing around autour.

Equium M40X: Cannot print - not done. Print Spooler service does not
My notebook Equium M40X has suddenly decided to stop from allowing me to print, gives me the message "operation was not completed. "print spooler service does not. I get this message even when you try to install the original installed printer drivers.
To resolve this problem, I went to the services.msc to attempt to start the print spooler, but the command is not here present and seems to be missing. I also tried to launch it by clicking Start and then run and typing "net start spooler", but even once, it does not. Can anyone help with this?
My laptop is an Equium M40X and the operating system is Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Hello
This error occurs because the spooler service has not been started or has stopped working.
It seems that this error is known to Microsoft and they decided to public an article in the knowledge base that could help solve this problem.http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314876
As you say that the spooler service must be restarted.
To start the spooler service, follow these steps:
1. click on start and then click Control Panel.
2. double-click Administrative Tools and then click Services.
3. double-click on the Printer Spooler service and then change the startup type to automatic. This option sets the spooler service starts automatically when you restart the computer.
4. If you want to start the spooler service immediately, click the Start button under the Service status fieldIf you will not be able to restart the spooler service, you can try to restore the Windows operating system to the point initially by using the Windows System Restore tool.
