  • Printers are lost after installing updates and could not start get error 1053 service print spooler service message has failed to demand launch or control in a timely

    Original title: print spooler does not - error 1053 - Windows 7

    I have a HP Pavilion dv4-511 with Windows 7.  2 weeks ago I ran a Windows Update and all my printers installed have disappeared after a reboot.  I did a system restore and they were all back.  Yesterday, I installed an update to a software (Soonr) and it's the same thing.  I clicked on the print spooler service to see if I was able to restart and got the error 1053 saying "service did not respond to demand launch or control in a timely." If I click on "Add a printer" in the menu devices and printers, I get the following message: "Windows can't open add printer."  The local print spooler service is not running.  Please restart the spooler or restart the machine. "I rebooted the computer and the same thing continues to happen.  I did a system restore and the printers are all back.  It seems that every time there is a change to any software, it creates this problem.  Help, please! Thank you.

    Hello

    Welcome to the Microsoft community!

     

    When the updates are installed, the printers will be lost and when you try to start the print spooler service, you get the service saying error 1053 has failed to demand launch or timely control.

     

    The problem may occur if some system files are corrupted or because of malicious content.

     

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below:

     

    Method 1: File system (CFS) Scan Checker

    SFC scan will find all missing or incorrect system files and repairs them.

     

    See the site:

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

     

    Method 2: Scan the computer to remove all possible malicious content

     

    See the site:

    Microsoft safety scanner

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx .

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

     

    I hope this helps. If the problem persists, let know us and we would be happy to help you.

    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.

    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

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

    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
