How can I activate the print spooler service on

My computer says the print spooler service stops when I'm going to use a printer. How do I reactivate.

Hello
Please tell us the version of the Windows operating system you are running on your computer.

I'd take a peek at this thread as well. It is specific to Windows 7, but you should be able to many of the same steps apply to Windows Vista or Windows XP if you happen to have one of the people.

I hope this helps. Just reply to the results.

  • How can I get the print spooler to start when the file is missing: lexbces.exe? where can I download this file?

    I TRIED TO RE-INSTALL MY HP WIRELESS PRINTER AND IT WOULD NOT INSTALL. I HAVE RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE PRINT SPOOLER WAS NOT WORKING AND STOPPED. I have TRIED TO START THE PRINT SPOOLER AND FOUND what IT MISSING THE lexbces.exe FILE. I THINK THAT WHEN I UNINSTALLED THE HP PRINTER, HE WALKED OUT OF THIS FILE. IT IS IN THE SYSTEM 32 AND A FILE OF REMOTE PROCEDURE CALL. DOWNLOAD THIS FILE OR DO I HAVE TO RE-INSTALL WINDOWS XP?

    Lexbces.exe is from Lexmark (or Dell-badged Lexmark) printer install.  When the Lexmark printers are installed, they configure the print spooler to depend on Lexbces.  Unfortunately, when you uninstall the software Lexmark, the uninstall program removes the file but does not have the print spooler dependency.

    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    Type the following line in the black command prompt window and press enter

    dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS

    Note that there is no space before the = but there is a space after it.

    Restart the computer.

    See the instructions on One Article to do a clean installation of your printer.

    After the restart, you can check that the print spooler has started in several ways.  One way is:

    Open a command prompt window and type the following command, and then press ENTER:

    spooler request SC

    You should see the following in the command prompt window:

    spooler request SC

    Service_Name: Spooler

  • How can I keep my print spooler active Service after blocking with FixIt

    When you try to use one of my printers online, I receive an error message that

    "Operation cannot be completed. Print Spooler service is not running. »

    I used FixIt to repair this problem. It is said that the problem is solved.

    But, he is not fixed... as soon as I try to activate a printer, the error message is repeated.

    "Spooler SubSystem App has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience. »

    Participated in the Windows Update... without success

    A ran a scan antivirus (AVG)... no virus found

    PC Tune Up (AVG)... without success

    At least he's polite.

    It could be that your print spooler queue is blocked, then you can clean it up.

    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... you must remove any saved print jobs first.
       
    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).  If it is not started, right click on and start it.
       
    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.
