  Double-click the print spooler service to view its page properties...
  go to the TAB more far away on the right, should be "dependencies".
  It should display a list of components or services that must be running in order for the spooler service is running.
  The bottom in the properties page window shows the services that must run so that the components to run...
  in essence, you would have a trail leading you exactly what service it is not working, which prevents the spooler service to run.

• 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)

  All printer drivers that I had loaded do not work or have disappeared.  After you download the printer drivers, I got the error message: "operation could not be performed.  The print spooler service is not running. "I have Windows XP.  I need to print now!

  To start the print spooler service, click Start > all programs > Accessories > run. In the run box type in services.msc. In the Windows Services window right-click on print spooler and select open. You will then see the options "Start automatically", and then on the button 'Start Service'. Click on those and then click apply then OK.

• 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.

• Start the print spooler. If it has changed

  The way the departures of up to changed print spooler? I'm sure that if you have created a printer on the computer share and on computer B that are linked, this computer only had to be fed up to let computer B using the printer. It seems now that computer as a simultaneous connection of the needs. Is this correct?

  Hi JayWubbleU,

  If your printer is connected to the network, then you must connect even on computer A to start the Printer Spooler service.

  If the printer is connected to the locally through the USB port, then you need not connect to computer A to start the spooler service of.

• problem printer-"the print spooler service does not work.

  tried to add the printer, but get message "the print spooler service is not running" what I do?

  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 print spooler is not always running after you launched the command "net start spooler", you will not be able to follow all the steps in "First Article".  Instead, go to the other link and download and get and use the utility 'cleanspl' such as described here.

  A. Clean on print jobs pending

  • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

  net stop spooler
  del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
  net start spooler
  output

  B. clean the old printer drivers and install the latest drivers by using the directions in One Article.  If you have (or had) a Lexmark printer, follow the instructions on the following site before installing the new drivers, as explained in its first Article: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

• 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.

• "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 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
