The people who answer questions here are, for the most part, volunteers who have no connection with Microsoft.  Ask your question every two minutes won't get you a faster response.

Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs:

AntiMailware MalwareBytes
SUPERAntiSpyware

Do not operate the two scans simultaneously.  Each will take a long time, so start it and then go do something else for a while.

Cleaning of printers

NOTE: If after completing step has the spooler print don't rest not always running after you launched the command "net start spooler", follow these steps

Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)

  • 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).

    Hello

    Use this method to clear the spooler and then uninstall and reinstall your printer (check with the manufacturer for)
    the latest driver).

  • print spooler

    print spooler seems to be turned off how do I turn it on?

    Hello
     
    Windows operating system you are using?
     
    A print spooler is software that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print. If you were expecting an abnormally long time to print a document, or if you see an error message about the print spooler, Spooler subsystem or spooler resources, you might need to change and then restart the print spooler service on your computer.
     
     
    To do this, we recommend that you save your work and restart the computer to restart the print spooler service. If you do not want to restart the computer, try these steps.
     
    To change or restart the spooler service for printing on a Windows 7 computer.
     
    You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.
     
    a. click Start , Control Panel , click System and Maintenanceand then click Administrative Tools .
