  • Windows XP print spooler 1068 error code

    I have an error code 1068 print spooler.
    The fault has happened today 28/04/2012
    I've been using a Canon MP240 printer for 4 years.
    The print spooler is set to automatic.
    I followed the instructions and I have following error messages
    The dependency Service or group was able to start.
    This message appears in LexBceS & Fax
    I am using Microsoft Windows XP,
    Home Edition,
    Version 2002
    Service Pack 3

    As I wrote when you posted this question identical at the end of the outdated threads.

    I don't really know what "instructions" may be followed.  There are a lot of 'instructions' in the old thread.

    It is also important to give the full text of the error messages, rather than paraphrase as you did.

    All I know is that you have a Canon MP240 printer which does not work because the print spooler is not running.  And the reason for which the print spooler is not running is probably because you were at the same time a Lexmark printer (or a badge printer Lexmark Dell) and this printer has been poorly uninstalled.

    I don't know if your printer Canon already worked and if he did, what happened just before it stopped working.

    You might have noted that I asked several questions of the person who initially asked to return in November.  You have answered them yourself to save time.

    Please provide the full error message.

    Do you now or have you ever had a Lexmark or Dell-badged Lexmark printer installed?

    What happened just before the printer who stops working?

    And what version of Windows is installed, including service pack? [You said it; Thank you.]

    Also, I don't know if you have a fax modem that you want to use Windows XP fax services.  I ask this because when you paraphrased the error message you received, you mentioned 'Fax '.

    Normally, the fax service depends on the service print spooler, rather than the reverse.  If the print spooler service does not start, then the fax service also fails to start, so I expect that you might have seen two distinct error messages. .... But I'm just guessing.

    To save time - and with the caveat that this is based on guessing the answers that you have not yet provided - what follows will likely restore your printing capacity.  You WILL need to do the "special procedure for computers that have or had a Lexmark or Dell-badged Lexmark printer" before you start step A.

  • print spooler is missing Windows xp services

    Hi my daughter using a fujitsu siemens laptop running windows xp edition version 2002 service pack 3 family. We have tried to install 2 different printers, but always get says print spooler does not. I checked in the service and there is nothing indicated for printers or print spooler. I looked in c\windows 32 and there are 2 files of coil it but I do not know what to so that it reappears in the services and I can turn it on. can anyone help please?

    Man that's great, as I must have contracted a virus that deleted my services print spooler. Made exactly as stated in the information and then rebooted and it works perfectly now. Really appreciate the help!

    While it is definitely a good read, none of these links seem to tell you how to add the lack of Print Spooler Service and the Microsoft link certainly not will help you add the Service lacks and is a waste of time.

    The Print Spooler Service missing Services, you must add it (how do you suppose that happened?).

    I don't have XP Home Edition, but this method works on XP Pro and I do not see why it would be different.

    Here's how to add the Print Spooler Service:

    If your system is Windows XP Service Pack 3, you can add the Service of print spooler missing to your system by using a registry import.

    Before making any changes to your registry, back up the registry with this free and popular tool:
    http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/ERUNT.html

    Reinstall the missing Print Spooler Service by creating a registry file that you can import into your system (tested on Service Pack 3).

    If you already have a registry entry for the Print Spooler Service, you can export it to a file and save it.  The following example is the code of a working XP Pro Service Pack 3 system generic registry.

    Open notepad to create a new text file by clicking Start, run and enter in the box:

    Copy and paste the following lines of text into the new Notepad file:

    Save the new text file with extension .reg to your desktop or a folder with a name you can remember, something like:

    addspooler.reg

    After you save the file, close Notepad.

    Locate the file addspooler.reg on your desktop and double-click it.

    Alternatively, you can right-click on the addspooler.reg file, choose open with... and select the registry editor which will then import the file.

    Answer Yes to the following question: are you sure you want to add the information in the registry?

    You should then see a message that information has been registered in the register.

    I would restart at this stage to ensure that updates "stick."

    Now you should see the Print Spooler Service and you can right click, choose Properties and (if she isn't already) set the startup type to automatic and start the service if it is not running after reboot.

    Sine the Print Spooler Service should not be missed, I suggest you follow with this (or first):

    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/

  • How can I get a print spooler for jet Office 6500 E709n

    somehow my print spooler is gone how can I get a new one, I ran the installation, diagnosis and utility and no doesn't solve the problem. I can see the printer on my wireless network but cannot print on it

    If your PRINT SPOOLER IS 'GONE', you may need to contact WINDOWS for that matter. I would check everything first well.

    What operating system do you use? If windows 7 or XP, follow these steps:

    1. click on Start Menu
    2 right click computer
    3. choose MANAGE
    4. click on Services and Applications
    5. choose the Services
    6 scroll down until you see PRINT SPOOLER, if it is there, click on it and RUN it

    IF you DO NOT SEE what LIST, you will need to communicate with WINDOWS, because you have to maybe reformat your OS, but contact them first.

    Let me know if this can help, thank you.

  • The folder administrative tools devoid of orders for the print spooler problem that is stopped.

    I could not install my printer because the spooler is stopped.  According to Windows help, the problem can be solved by administrative tools.  But the biggest problem is: the Administrative Tools folder contains anything other than "Windows SuperShell Modules.  The Service order through which is accessible the print spooler service is NOT there.  Is there another way I can make the spooler running?

    Hi francisco a.sanchez,.

    I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista installation CD.

  • How to remove a printer who falls down the print spooler

    Windows 7 64 bit

    My print spooler seems to be screwed in place. Initial symptom was showing no printer installed, even though I have several applications. I was able to remove all my printers except one: when I try to delete it, the print spooler crashes, thus preventing the printer are removed. The printer (and others that I was able to successfully delete) has been installed with Novell iPrint.

    I've seen a few references to stop the print spooler and removing all C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS, but this place is already empty for me (with no hidden files).

    Official documentation of Windows 7 to remove a printer says:

    1. Open devices and printers, click Start , and then, on the start menu, click devices and printers.
    2. Right-click the printer you want to remove, click on remove the device and then click Yes.

      If you can't delete the printer, right-click again, click Run as administrator, click on remove the device and then click Yes. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    I don't have an option "Run as administrator" on the printer, so I can't try that last bit.

    Any other suggestions?

    I guess you tried to uninstall the software of the printer through programs and features (if there is one)?

    Is there an associated service of Novell iPrint? If so, stop it, then try the previous steps.

    Is it possible to raise again through iPrint installation and remove it? I'm not familiar with this program (it's been 20 years I messed with Novell).

    You are an administrator on this PC? Is this printer a network printer? If so, are there other PC on which may be trying to access?

    --

    SC Tom

    P.S. I don't have the option "Run as Administrator" when I right click on any printer on one of three different computers with three different operating systems, so I don't know where Microsoft came up with that one.
