  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.

• Print Spooler service is not running, or active directory domain services is currently unavailable.

  Original title: my printers on WIndows 7 seemed to have disappeared...

  Printers are not listed for printing set up in Word, Notepad, Adobe, etc., when I try to add a printer, he said the local print spooler service is not running, or domain services active directory is currently unavailable.  Printers are shown on the list of devices, and when I run the troubleshooting it says that the print spooler problem is solved.  but I still can't print.  The question is on a laptop Samsung bought in store Microsoft to OakBrook, Illinois.

  It started on 8 July and I was not able to resolve since.  In reviewing the restore points, I don't see any problems, and printers are recorded in the other PC, I plugged in.

  Thanks for your help.

  Imran,

  Thank you very much for the reply onse.  I appreciate it.  I tried your suggestions and everything in the fix he said that the print spooler has been repaired, it would not print.  I ran the scanner and came without any problem.

  I did a restore of the system to a point prior to the issuance and the printers are busy, apparently something in an update has a problem.  I'll look next week and see what happens.

  Thanks again for your reply and your suggestions, I appreciate it.

• "Printer properties cannot be displayed. The print spooler service is not running. "(even when it works)

  When I click with the right button on a particular printer and try to view the properties of it, I get the following message:

  Printer properties cannot be displayed.  The print spooler service is not running

  It is, it is run as go to-> Services administrative tools in the Control Panel checks.

  One of the 'printers', I installed is "send to OneNote 2007".  I can click right on this very well - just not this another printer. I'd be able to do if the print spooler is not running?

  Indeed, if I turn off the print spooler, * all * printer in "Printers and faxes" disappear.  So the fact that I'm still see them first place suggests to me that the printer spooler is running.

  I posted this on Microsoft.public.windowsxp.general a while ago and someone suggested that I visit this site .  Problem is C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS is empty.  It is empty when the print spooler is running and it is empty when it is not.

  Also, I was unable to install KB896423 since I am running SP3.  Try to install he did the following:

  Setup has detected that the version of Service Pack for this system is newer than the update you are applying.

  There is no need to install this update.

  The printer is a "local printer attached to this computer" connected via a "Standard TCP/IP Port".  Personally, I think such a printer should be called "a network printer or a printer attached to another computer", but that is the terminology used by the "Add Printer Wizard".

  Hello terrafrost,.

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

  What is the model number of the printer that you are using?

  Printing a "Standard TCP/IP Port, is used for a printer that is directly connected to a network, not on your local system.

  I would try to uninstall your printer and reinstall your printer.

  Hope this helps Chris.H

• The Print Spooler Service is not running. Operating system is Windows XP Service Pack 3.

  I followed the suggestion to use start > Control Panel > administration tool > services > print spooler > properties.

  System in automatic mode but State of the said service stopped.

  I get error 1075: the dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.

  Printer worked this AM, but stopped working between two print jobs.

  I used Mr. Fixit to diagnose and fix the problem. Mr. Fixit indicates the print spooler service is not running, but cannot fix it.

  Is there a source code for Windows XP service pack 3 which can be downloaded to replace the corrupted code?

  Thanks for your help

  Robear:

  I'll be back of the travel.  I'm after the suggestion of CARI.  Seems to be the right track.

  My print spooler system component is missing from the remote procedure call.  If I restore it, I think that the print spooler is reactive.  Suggestions of curry hit Start, Program Files, accessories and they type net start spooler.  However, after the departure, I don't see any Program Files, so am unable to complete the suggested path.

• The print spooler service is not running

  I had a virus that I got rid of but now my printer does not print, it comes up with "the print spooler service is not running" and I can't add a printer.  What should I do to solve this problem.

  It's pretty easy to start the print spooler service... but may not stay started.

  To restart the print spooler:

  • Click Start, click Run, and then type services.msc in the run box, and then click OK
  • Scroll down the list until you get to the print spooler and double-click the entry
  • Make sure that the "Startup Type" is "automatic".
  • Click on the button 'Start '.
  • OK your way out

  In the likely case where this isn't a solution permanent for you, when you post, include the following information:

  1. What version of Windows you have, including the service pack (start > run > winver > OK)
  2. What make and model of printer you have
  3. What antivirus you have installed
  4. If your computer was without an antivirus application or current subscription for your antivirus (in other words, how is it you got infected in the first place)
  5. What steps you have taken to determine that your system is now free of malware (i.e. what applications antivirus and antimalware you scanned the system with)
