Print PDF caused the failure of the print spooler

I have been all over these blogs, and nobody has the answer. I had no problem and then today when I tried to print a pdf file, everything went haywire. I can not print, I can't remove and reinstall my printer, I can't restart the print spooler (it tries but stops, and then said: he started, but he didn't). HELP ME, PLEASE.
Janie

Hello jrino,

Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum

Apart from the pdf printing problem can you print other programs such as Word, Notepad, or Wordpad? Try to go to the event viewer and see what errors are being given in the viewer list. Also during activation of the print spooler service, make sure that the spooler depends on all the services are started as well.

Access Event Viewer: right click on computer and select manage. Click event viewer, and then expand the view so that you can access the different categories. Expand Windows logs, and then click Application. Scroll down and see what kind of errors you found and see if that helps you evil pulls on the question. Post what you find in this thread.

Looking for services that depend on: click console in the management of the computer Services. Click Services and Applications and then click Services. Find the print spooler and double-click to view the properties. Watch dependent services for the spoooler and to ensure that these services are started and running as well. If one or more of the dependent services do not work this may cause your spooler to stop working as well.

  • Export of CS5 file to PDF causes the size of the document to enlarge the PDF!

    I need help... QUICK! I have a calendar of 14 pages 4CP bleeding on three sides. The size of purge is 3/16 ", according to the requirements of the printer. When I export the file in InDesign to PDF format, the overall size of the page is increased by exactly 3/16 "! I almost missed it and approved the print job. Fortunately, I turned on the rules in the PDF to check all items on the page have been properly placed and do not fall on the crease. It is then that I discovered that objects that I had placed on a page spread in the crease and on the next page. I went back to my InDesign file and concluded that these items have been properly placed and did not extend to the fold, as they did in the PDF file. I tried different PPD files, export the file with and without reference to the printer... everything to nothing done. I finally printed the file to a Postscript (PS) file and then the file exported to PDF and managed to do the work. However, I prefer to avoid this extra step. What is going on? Why the file expands (as by chance the same EXACT amount that the purge has been set for) or what I am doing wrong? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Are you familiar with bleeding etc.?  i.e. have you used before?  Seems to me that if you are all mostly good but not realizing that Acrobat and Reader (please don't mention Mac preview) show the size including bleeding when you choose these options during export in Indesign.

    Go back and check the configuration of your document.  Page size must be just excatly that, over the size of the page.  Background settings lost (you might have to check more options to see) should be fair.  Export the PDF file, go to "benchmark and Fund lost ' tick 'Background settings lost use the Document' and you're done.  The document will appear bigger.

    Oh and use the button of the camera for the screenshots.

    You can see the actual progress of the size of the doc going > Print Production > culture Pages and switch between trimming area (the size of the page will get cut to) and CropBox (which includes the lost funds and that's what you see).

  • What are the causes my print spooler continues to operate, and quickly stop again when I restart it? Lexmark P4350 - Windows 7 Edition home premium

    What are the causes to stop working during printing and stop again shortly after I start my print spooler. I also find that my printer takes a long time to start printing after I clicked "Print". I use an all-in-one printer Lexmark P4350 on Windows 7 Home Premium.

    David

    Hi David,

    Thank you for the update.

    Use all the dependency services?

    The solution for slow printing is the print spooler reset.

    When we press the Windows key + R, a window opens. This is called the immediate window.

    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers and check. Lexmark is not Windows 7 compatible drivers for the printer. So, you can download the drivers for Windows Vista and install in compatibility mode.

    Follow the steps to install in compatibility mode:
    a. right click on the driver installation file and select Properties and then tap or click on the compatibility tab.
    b. check the box run this program in compatibility mode .
    c. press or click the menu drop down and select a previous operating system, and then tap or click OK.

  • Why can't I produce a pdf when the computer shows that Adobe pdf is ready to print?

    All of a sudden, I have a problem of pdf creation. When I'm in a document, I go to print and is not only adobe listed as an alternative of the printer. Yet, when I go to devices and printers, here it is. I am able to print a test page. I rebooted without effect. I have Acrobat XI Pro installed under Windows 7. Just three days ago, I created a 100 page book using this printer and sent the file to a printing plant in another city without problem.

    Mystery solved! Although I don't know why. I went to another document and it would be to convert to PDF in the normal way. I went back to that I worked on, saved and closed, and then reopened it. Presto! Adobe pdf is presented as one of the print options.

  • Upgrade to 4.1 VMware tools 8.3.2 cause the print spooler restart

    I just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem.

    After having modernized our guests from 4.0u2 to 4.1, I improved the tools on my virtual machines.  The next day on the virtual machines Citrix PS4.5 users had tons of printing problems.  These servers also had poor performance and restarted thoughout the day because the constant spooler restarts chess CPP triggered.

    The solution was to remove the tools from these hosts and re - 8.3.2 vmware install tools 4.0u2 (4.0.0 build 261974).  All other virtual machines seem to be fine with the new tools of 4.1.   (I also tried to remove just the fine print of the 8.3.2 driver tools without success)

    I report to VMware Monday and post what they say.  I just wanted to see if someone of another running Citrix or Terminal Server VM has the same issues.

    Thank you.

    We had to enable VT - x / AMD - v option in the bios AND active the option "use Intel VT-X/AMD-V for the instruction set virtualization and Intel EPT/AMD RVI for MMU virtualization for our VM

    We had problems with Server 2003 Enterprise with 8 GB of RAM (so using the/3 GB switch in the boot.ini file) our Exchange 2003 server.

    This machine works now head and shoulders all the rest - we're still testing the rest of our virtual machines to ensure they remain stable after changing the CPU/MMU virtualization settings.  So far so good!

    I really hope that helps you!  14 hours STRAIGHT was devoted to this, including yelling, throwing objects, cursing vmware etc...

  • Installation of the printer. error: "printer spooler does not.

    Original title: printer Installation

    Windows XP SP3 home edition:

    Software printer installation error message, "printer spooler does not" no printer is installed or deposited.

    This suggestion can help.

    Quote from: http://snipurl.com/1mdayq [www_eventid_net]

    From a newsgroup post: "it seems that the print spooler does not and that it was impossible (or not configured to) restart itself.» When the print spooler does not work, printers will be not visible in the Printers folder, and you will not be able to add a new printer. A number of things could cause the print spooler to fail. It's corrupt print jobs, incompatible or problematic printer drivers or port monitors, corrupted file or disc and even other applications or processes interfering with the spooler in memory. If you try to manually restart the print spooler and it fails immediately, he may be trying to process a print job corrupted after the start. It is a common cause for the print spooler failures that occur immediately. If the print spooler starts and printing features returns for a while before a failure once again, then a monitor driver or the port is probably the cause of the problem.

    To remove print spooling jobs that could cause this problem, simply remove (or remove) the files with the extension ".spl" or ".shd' of the location of the coil when the print spooler is stopped. This place is typically "c:\\system32\spool\printers" (it might have been edited manually). Once the existing spool files have been deleted, try to restart the print spooler again to see if it works normally. If there is no (.shd or .spl files) spooling print jobs, or remove the old spooling print jobs does not change the behavior, a port monitor or driver may be to blame. " M260142 provides information more detailed which will be useful in troubleshooting.

  • printer is not working, "the print spooler service is disabled" when it is not

    Hello

    I received a message that my pc required for the loading of driver software for a new unknown device, although I had nothing added.

    Now, I find that my printer is not working.

    I tried to accept the "locate and install driver software" message, but it does not work.

    I tried to uninstall the printer driver so that I can reinstall them, but I get a message that the uninstallation was failure because the print spooler service is disabled.

    I checked the print spooler service is set to auto & seems to be on.

    Would appreciate any opinion appropriate for a no no very savvy tech.

    Thank you

    This could be the reason why you do not see the printer in the Control Panel, printers. Try this, go to control panel, printers, if you see the printer listed to remove it. If you don't see the printer, the service could stop, go to services then and click on "Restart the service" (blue link top left), then go back to printing, its listed hopely now and you can remove it (right click). Now try to reinstall the printer.

    If that doesn't work try the system restore, restore to a date when the printer works fine.
