• The Print Spool Service does not work

  I use Windows XP and have 2 printers installed.  I had no problems until recently, when I try to print I get an error message that I need to install a printer.  When I went to control panel to check the status of my printers don't have no installed printer.  When I clicked on the "Add a printer" icon, I received a message that the "Service of Spool of printing does not work.".  I can't find anywhere in the menu helps an answer to this problem.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I must mention that I restore the computer to an earlier time and he has not made a difference.

  To activate the Print Spool Service, follow these steps:

  1. click on the Start Menu, click Run, type "services.msc" and press ENTER.

  2. in the Services pane, click on "Alert" and scroll down until you see "print spooler".

  3. click on "Start service" or "Restart Service", as the case may be.

  The print spooler service should now be enabled.

  Check if the printing problem is resolved.

  Hope this helps

• 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.

• cannot print... "the local print spooler service does not work.

  It all started this morning...

  It may be advantageous to make sure that the print spooler service is running.

  (1) go to Start, all programs, Administrative Tools, Services
  (2) scroll down to the print spooler
  (3) if she says not "started" in the "Status" column, right click and click Start

• 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!

• How can I change the permissions? His does not work.

  If this problem occurred when I tried to change the icons on my mac. The apps that I downloaded as pages, spotify, google chrome, etc have been changed without problems. (I used the method where get you information, then paste in). But when I went to change the icons of the apps that came with my computer such as safari, messages, photos, etc., that it did not work. There was no option to paste into the file menu and when I did command + v he comes to make a noise. So I googled how to change safari icon and it says that I have to change permisions. That's where the problem came. I pressed get info on safari and went down to the right, then I clicked on the lock and entered my password and the unlocked locking. But then when I went to the control panel and selected "reading and writing" in all he did not. He three get out a message that "the operation cannot be completed because you do not have the necessary permissions. Things to note are that in the permissions Panel my name and (I) was not under the name column. I am the sole owner of this mac and I don't know whats going on. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

  I think you're probably be lived this because of SIP (Protection of the integrity of the system). This was introduced in El Capitan (10.11).
