I can't load printer. Print spooler is missing.
My HP deskjet882c will not work. Said the missing print spooler.
First thing to do is to ensure that the print spooler just does not work but it is actually present on your machine.
Search in C:\Windows\system32 spoolsv.exe
If it is there, look in C:\Windows\system32\dllcache
If not, look for whole hard disk, to search in hidden files and folders, as well as system records for spoolsv (without the exe on the end). Report what you find, including versions of file.
Post back to your search results.

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.htmlReinstall 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:

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/They can be uninstalled later if you wish. -
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 enterdependent 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

Hi all
Fixed a problem.
It turns out the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Providers must be cleaned too - delete all subkeys (and their values) EXCLUDES the Internet Provider LanMan Print Services and printing keys (and their values). A reboot is required.
Hope it will be useful for people who have this problem in the future.
Thanks for these folks spend their time to respond or read my question.
See you soon,.

Equium M40X: Cannot print - not done. Print Spooler service does not
My notebook Equium M40X has suddenly decided to stop from allowing me to print, gives me the message "operation was not completed. "print spooler service does not. I get this message even when you try to install the original installed printer drivers.
To resolve this problem, I went to the services.msc to attempt to start the print spooler, but the command is not here present and seems to be missing. I also tried to launch it by clicking Start and then run and typing "net start spooler", but even once, it does not. Can anyone help with this?
My laptop is an Equium M40X and the operating system is Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Hello
This error occurs because the spooler service has not been started or has stopped working.
It seems that this error is known to Microsoft and they decided to public an article in the knowledge base that could help solve this problem.http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314876
As you say that the spooler service must be restarted.
To start the spooler service, follow these steps:
1. click on start and then click Control Panel.
2. double-click Administrative Tools and then click Services.
3. double-click on the Printer Spooler service and then change the startup type to automatic. This option sets the spooler service starts automatically when you restart the computer.
4. If you want to start the spooler service immediately, click the Start button under the Service status fieldIf you will not be able to restart the spooler service, you can try to restore the Windows operating system to the point initially by using the Windows System Restore tool.

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 may not be running
Hello
I have 4 computers around here, and I'm trying to get a printserver running on one of them, so we have installed windows 2008, set up as a server to printing etc..
Now when I try to add the printer to my computer laptop windows 7, it works perfectly, and is the same for one of the windows xp workstations.
However, when I try to add the printserver on windows server 2003, it starts talking about missing drivers.The printer is a HP LJCP3505 PCL6, and he is already working on a normal (eg. non-printserver associated) network.
I downloaded almost all the drivers, I could find from the HP website, but whenever I try to add them, it tells me that they are not valid drivers.
and on another computer windows 7, I get the following error message:Could not connect to the printer.
On the server print spooler service could not be executed.
Restart the spooler or restart the server(on a side note: it's a translated error message, our systems are not English)
I don't know if they are related, but I checked the print spooler service, and it was fine (auto startup, active etc.).
the same goes for its dependencies.Hi LeanderML,
Your question is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for Windows Server on TechNet. Please ask your question in the Forums in Technet Windows Server.

How can I get my printer spooler running I get error 1075 when I try to start it
Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!
Ideas:
- You have problems with programs
- Error messages
- Recent changes to your computer
- What you have already tried to solve the problem
If you see something like this:
Cannot start service on Local computer print spooler.
Error 1075: The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.Error 1075 means "ERROR_SERVICE_DEPENDENCY_DELETED".
This means that there is some Service think that it depends on to start the Print Spooler Service that is missing. It's maybe the printing or drivers that have been uninstalled software.
If really, the dependency service exists and simply not work (dependence, Services must be started and running), you will get an error like this:
Cannot start service on Local computer print spooler.
Error 1068: The dependency service or group could start.You now or you already had all of the installed Lexmark printers?
If the Service print spooler used to work well, do you have added or removed all printers since he worked?
To view your Services, click Start, run and enter in the box:
services.msc
Click OK to open the Services Applet.
Highlight the Print Spooler Service, right-click and choose properties you can see what is happening. You will be especially interested in the startup (generally set to automatic) type and the items listed in the Dependencies tab.
Always print spooler Service usually depends on the remote procedure call (RPC) Service is running, so if the remote procedure call (RPC) Service is not running, find it in your Services, launch it and set the startup type to automatic.
If the remote procedure call (RPC) Service is not listed as a dependency for the Print Spooler Service, you can add it.
You must see what Services depends on your Print Spooler Service, and then restart them (and their startup type automatic value), or if you have the dependency Services listed for items that are more installed on your system, you must inform the print spooler that she needs more of them to start. Registered Addiction Services that are no longer needed must be removed.
For example, I said to my Print Spooler Service depends on the remote procedure call (RPC) Service, and also depends on the Service Jose (and of course there is no Jose service).
When I try to start my Print Spooler Service, I get an error 1075. It's logical.
If I look at the Print Spooler Service properties Dependencies tab in the applet Services however, it does not list the Jose Service as a dependency, but if I query the Print Spooler Service broken from a command prompt, I can see what ir really depends on to start and it looks like this:
[SC] GetServiceConfig SUCCESS
Service_Name: Spooler
TYPE: 110 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS (interactive)
STARTUP TYPE: 2 AUTO_START
ERROR_CONTROL: 1 NORMAL
BINARY_PATH_NAME: C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe
LOAD_ORDER_GROUP: SpoolerGroup
TAG : 0
Display_name: Print spooler
DEPENDENCIES: rpcss
Jose
SERVICE_START_NAME: LocalSystem
I need to delete the Service jose as a dependency for the Print Spooler Service (and leave just the rpcss Service), then the Print Spooler Service will start.If you don't see the problem in the Print Spooler service dependencies tab, see what are actually of a command prompt window Print Spooler Service dependencies. To do this, click on start run and in the type box:
cmd
Click OK to open a command prompt window.
In the command prompt window, query the spooler to print (spooler) Service by entering the following command:
sc qc spooler
Whatever it is listed under needs of DEPENDENCIES is running before starting the print spooler.
If there are DEPENDENCIES listed for things that are more installed, you can fix it, but first of all, we need to know what is indicated, then we can remove the ones that are not needed.
If you make adjustments, do not forget to restart your system and make sure that changes "stick".
Do, or do not. There is no test.

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.
