  • Error 2: The system cannot find the specified file. Even after restarting the Printer Spooler service

    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.

  • How to restart the print spooler in Wnidows 8

    The print spooler is a service that is built into most Windows operating systems. His job is to help control print jobs and interact with the printer. Problems with the print spooler are blocked in the queue of print jobs.

    Sometimes the print spooler stops working or was an error to occur. The following video shows how to restart the print spooler service in Windows 8.

    For similar problems with printing try printing HP and the Scan doctor. It is a diagnostic utility that can sometimes find and solve printing problems. Find and fix common problems printer using HP Diagnostic tools

  • 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 in Windows problems

  • Windows must now restart because the print spooler service terminated unexpectedly

    I have a PC running on Windows Vista professional that I had for about a year with two printers that have also been all this time, a HP LaserJet 1000 and an Epson SX105.

    This morning, amid a series of PDFs (separate files) printing on LaserJet printers, I suddenly had the following pop-up message:

    "Spooler SubSystem App stopped working and was closed".

    On the Control Panel, I found that my two printers have apparently disappeared.  My first reaction was just close and restart the computer, often kind of seeds.

    To restart, I tried to print again, but I was told that I had to install a printer.  Trying to install a printer, I learned that I could not because of a problem with the spooler.  I looked online to find a solution and one that suits (without touching the registry) seemed to be to check the operation of via Control Panel's print spooler, and then restart.  Oh dear.  What a mistake!  I did this and found that the printers have reappeared, but then about 30 seconds later, I got the following pop-up message:

    "Windows must now restart because the print spooler service terminated unexpectedly.

    Each time it restarts the message comes back after less than a minute and restarts on another 30 seconds later, so I have a chance to try a system restore (I installed the last service pack Vista a couple of days), or something else... it's just in a loop of perpetual reboot, I can't stop restarting Windows.

    How the hell do I?  (I send this message using my Vista laptop and pray the same problem occur here, too, so I don't have to print anything).

    Hi RobynGP,
     
    This may occur if the print spooler requires other services, and these services are not running. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
     
    1. in Services, right-click on print spooler and then click Properties.

    2. click the Dependencies tab. The first box list all system services that must work for the print spooler start. These are dependencies.

    3 make a note of each service, click OK, and restart each service on which the print spooler is dependent, if the service is not already started. If a service is not started, right-click, click Properties, and then make sure that the startup type is automatic.
     
    Let us know if this helped.
