    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.

  • 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 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.

  • Local print spooler service does not not (Windows 7)

    We bought a new HP PC with Windows 7 in December and the printer worked very well.   Suddenly, he stopped and we get an error Print Spooler Service not working.   I ran troubleshooting, and he said he fixed it, but we try and print to get the error again.

    We thought that we were lucky that our old PC made through the years of Vista and WIndows 7 would be better, but I was wondering if it is still too recent.

    How fix us this so that it remains fixed?

    ETA - PC is an HP, but the printer is a Dell.   Is - this problem is occurring more with certain products?  The printer is of 5 years so not opposed to replace if it will solve the problem but want one that works with Windows 7.

    Can you check it out here:

    Start > type services.msc in the search programs and files, then press 'Enter' > then in the right window, scroll down to the print spooler service, and then double click on "Print spooler" > dependencies

    What is listed under "this service depends on the following system components?

    Then click on the tab "General".

    What is the 'print spooler startup type"set to"automatic "?

    Is the "Service status" of the print spooler "started"?

    If this is not the case, can you "start" the print spooler service?

    BTW, what Dell printer is installed?

    Hello

    According to the description in this document from the Microsoft Knowledge base:

    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 field.
