  Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs:

  AntiMailware MalwareBytes
  SUPERAntiSpyware

  Do not operate the two scans simultaneously.  Each will take a long time, so start it and then go do something else for a while.

  Right click on 'My computer' / select 'manage '.

  Under "Services and Applications", select 'Services '.

  Check to see if the "Print spooler" service is "started" and "Startup Type" is set to "auto".

  Also check if the 'RPC Remote Procedure Call () service is also "started" and "Startup Type" is set' auto.

• error "local printer spooler service does not work." any attempt to add a local printer (USB or Bluetooth) fails.

  I can't add a printer (USB or Bluetooth), because it always returns a printer spooler error. I tried to restart the print spooler and by ensuring that this "local system account" and "allow service to interact with desktop" is selected. I also deleted all the old printer drivers, rebooted, checked the RPC Locator is active and tried everything I can think of. It worked well in Vista x 64 on the same machine later than yesterday, but the upgrade to Windows 7 x 64 seems to have something broken. The printer, a HP C5500 series, works very well on a virtual machine that is running the same operating system. (I rather not have to run a virtual machine just to print, of course.) Running RTM x 64 on a Dell XPS M1530, which very well printed Vista, just before upgrading, to Win7. Suggestions?

  FINALLY, I SOLVED THE PROBLEM! Probably, this will not help too other people unless they too, are start several operating systems and VMware Tools running, but I figured out how to fix it on my system without having to reinstall Windows. In fact, it was caused by an instance of VMware Tools. I removed, rebooted and voila - I was able to print again. In an effort to help a few other people, here is a summary of the things I've tried while working through the countless possibilities. If you are having problems "print spooler cannot start", one of these might help.

  (1) after having in vain attempted to restart the print spooler service and by checking all its dependencies, I deleted all the registry entries and drivers as detailed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324757.
  (2) I rebooted in safe mode and check the C:\Windows\System32\spool\ folder for all the corrupted files or remnants of coil.
  (3) I moved all the drivers printer in C:\Windows\System32\spool\x64 (or \w32x86 if you are using a 32-bit operating system) to a temporary folder. While examining the dll, I became suspicious of some "ThinPrint" drivers by VMware.
  (4) I tried to replace with a known good copy spoolsv.exe. (To do this, you need to take ownership of the file. Search engines are your friend.)
  (5) I tried to use RegEdit to reconfigure the default http RPCSS indicated in the "DependOnService" value This and all the other steps I mention in this list, are described in great detail in the links provided in my Nov 11 message.
  (6) I tried system restore back as far as possible - who had the positive effect of the side to undo these unsuccessful efforts in this case. Unfortunately, the problem persisted, due to the limited number of available on my system restore points.
  (7) following up on top of my suspicion earlier, I removed VMware Workstation and restarted. The problem persisted after a reboot.
  (8) I then started in the other OS on my system and removed the VMware tools he had installed on my boot drive, then restarted.

  Bingo! Printers reappeared and everything worked properly. Then, I was able to reinstall VMware Workstation without breaking anything. Phew!

• Printer Spooler service does not

  No apparent reason, I can print is no longer.  In Panel, printers and fax machines, no printer is listed despite the fact that there were at least two.  If I try to add a printer, I get the message Printer Spooler service does not. I was on the Microsoft site and loaded a convenience store who confirmed that the Printer Spooler service did not work but cannot fix it.  Not very useful at all.  Can anyone help.  I saw that a lot of old messages about this problem so it is not unique, but I'm really really stuck.

  You can start the print spooler by using different techniques, which one is suggested by Saurabh Joshi.

  Unfortunately, restart the print spooler generally fails to resolve the problem that caused the print spooler to stop in the first place.

  Apart from malware (and you'd be well advised to scan your system to update MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and SUPERAntiSpyware), are two likely reasons that your print spooler stops printer driver has corrupted and (b) corrupt print job stuck in the print queue.

  Start by removing the print queue.  With the print spooler stopped, go to C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS and delete the contents of the folder.  Do not delete the folder ...\PRINTERS himself.

  Then, clean and reinstall the drivers for your printer.  See the instructions at http://www.coribright.com/windows/Article_One.htm
  If you have a Lexmark printer, see this article for special instructions: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

• 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 field

  If 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.

• Failed to load printer - clicking Add indicates a Printer Spooler Service does not.

  Upgrade Windows XP to SP3 last night.  Now all in printers and faxes has disappeared.  Click on add a printer indicates the Spooler Service does not.   Went in and forced a start; Add the said printer still does not.

  Deleted old printer drivers (Lexmark).  Downloaded updated.  Execution of Lexmark is set up; said the spooler does not (yet), tries to start.  Then, the installation fails saying "No. valid Ports for the driver.

  Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs:

  AntiMailware MalwareBytes
  SUPERAntiSpyware

  Do not operate the two scans simultaneously.  Each will take a long time, so start it and then go do something else for a while.

  I think that your problem is related to the way that Lexmark install printers, as explained in this excerpt from the article linked in step B below (step numbers refer to article in full):

  If you have a Lexmark printer, these additional steps may be necessary (thanks to Robert Orleth [MSFT] to provide this information).  Sometimes, the Lexmark printer installation process installs a service that makes dependent Print Spooler service itself.  If there is a problem with service Lexmark or a Lexmark printer driver (or you have removed using the procedure above), Print Spooler service does not start (see also http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324757).  The steps below make Print Spooler service only on service (RPCSS) remote procedure (RPC) call, which is normal.  Print Spooler service dependencies are stored in the registry at

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler\DependOnService

  The sc config step 16 command resets the value for this entry.

  1. Open a command prompt window

  2. the control key
            sc config spooler depend = RPCSS
        (Note the space after the = not before)

  3. Restart print spooler (see steps 8 and 9 above)
