Print spooler crashes

• Server 2003 print spooler crashing

  How do you find the pilot who crashes the print spooler?

  No new drivers have been installed, or printers, all this has happened randomly.

  The only error we get is the generic error messages.

  This issue is beyond the scope of this site and must be placed on Technet or MSDN

• Cannot add a printer. Print spooler crashes. Error 0x000006be

  So, I spent several hours working on this problem and nothing seems to help.

  I have Windows Vista Ultimate SP1.  When I try to add a printer, properties of control server or anything else related to printing, I just got the error "windows cannot add a printer [or" server properties cannot be read "" "]." The local print spooler service is not running.  Please restart the spooler or restart the machine. »

  When I restart the spooler via administrative tools/services, or from the command prompt (it's supposed to be successful) attempt to add a printer again, I get the error message 'the operation cannot be completed (error 0x000006be)' and the spooler promptly crashes again.  This just started to happen suddenly, and no not because I tried to install some any printer.  If it helps, I've been using a Dell Photo Printer 720, but I used it in the past with the same system, OS and driver without problem.

  I searched for solutions in the world and so far have removed all traces of the system printer drivers in the case of a corrupted file crashes the spooler.

  So far, I have:
  1 deleted all of the printers that could be uninstalled from Add / Remove programs

  2 cleared out the Windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86 and Windows\system32\spool\printers\ folders

  3. suppression of the subkeys in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers registry keys

  4 deleted default subkeys in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors registry key

  Is there something else I could do to fix this?  Is it possible that the spooler application itself has a problem?  Or have I missed something it's ruin?  Any help would be REALLY appreciated!

  Hello urrghhvista,

  Try this:

  1. click on Start> select Control Panel> in programs and features> select turn Windows features On or Off.

  2. click on sign + Print Services.

  3. Select LPD and LPR. You must remove the Internet printing Client. Restart your PC to ensure there is no error in the spooler service.

  4. try to reinstall your printer software/driver.

  Hope this helps you. Let us know anyway. Make it a great day!

• Windows 7 print spooler crashes

  Running Windows 7 Pro with all the latest updates...  Installed a HP 1600 with the latest HP drivers and local printing works very well.

  Set the printer to be shared on the network.

  Installed the latest drivers from HP on the other 3 machines with the latest operating system upgrades...  (1) Windows 7 Pro, (2) Windows 7 Starter, 3-Vista 32.

  Print jobs sent from any of the 3 other computers to the shared device deepen the impression that but crash.

  Jobs will not print until I have stop and restart the spooler service for printing on Windows 7 Pro machine to which the printer is physically attached.

  However, I have connected the printer directly to my router and all computers can print without problem.

  For me it nails down to be a problem with the Windows 7 print spooler or a parameter that it controls.

  So, is this the print spooler, or is it a setting at the origin of the problem?

  And, if it is a parameter, one that or those?

  On the Ports tab in the printer properties on the computer that is sharing the printer, uncheck enable bidirectional.  The HP language monitor needs access to a resource that has only the local administrator.  When you restart the spooler of jobs are planned in the context of the system rather than the context to users.

• I'm unable to install a printer - print spooler does not

  I have a problem with the PC.  No printer is displayed in the Control Panel printer page. When I try to add a printer the message tells me that the print spooler does not work.  Can I also book error code: "error 0x000006e". I tried all the usual bugs without success.  Gives the print spooler to think it's on; I have reset several times and it shows, but the message I get when trying to add a printer says that it does not work.  I have attached the sfc/scannow process found no corrupt files. I tried a 'restoration' without success.

  The laptop can find the printer, a Canon Pixma MP 550 and it works well but the PC just cannot find all printers in the control panel or through different programs (WORD, etc.) and will not let me add a few.  The home network seems fine and both recognize each other and I can access files on the other computer.  But on the PC, there is no printer on the network.

  Grateful for the advice.  All the usual bugs have been tried.

  Also, I tried the canon Pixma MP 550 "My Canon" routine Diagnostics.  It did not find the printer even when it is plugged directly into the PCUSB slot.  This could be a problem of LPT 1?  So, I don't know how to access the LPT to reconfigure.

  I also opened OUTLOOK and WORD and tried to add a printer in this way, but I get the message: "the Active Domain Services are currently unavailable.

  Grateful for any help here.

• How to remove a printer who falls down the print spooler

  Windows 7 64 bit

  My print spooler seems to be screwed in place. Initial symptom was showing no printer installed, even though I have several applications. I was able to remove all my printers except one: when I try to delete it, the print spooler crashes, thus preventing the printer are removed. The printer (and others that I was able to successfully delete) has been installed with Novell iPrint.

  I've seen a few references to stop the print spooler and removing all C:\Windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS, but this place is already empty for me (with no hidden files).

  Official documentation of Windows 7 to remove a printer says:

  1. Open devices and printers, click Start , and then, on the start menu, click devices and printers.

  2. Right-click the printer you want to remove, click on remove the device and then click Yes.

     If you can't delete the printer, right-click again, click Run as administrator, click on remove the device and then click Yes. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  I don't have an option "Run as administrator" on the printer, so I can't try that last bit.

  Any other suggestions?

  I guess you tried to uninstall the software of the printer through programs and features (if there is one)?

  Is there an associated service of Novell iPrint? If so, stop it, then try the previous steps.

  Is it possible to raise again through iPrint installation and remove it? I'm not familiar with this program (it's been 20 years I messed with Novell).

  You are an administrator on this PC? Is this printer a network printer? If so, are there other PC on which may be trying to access?

  --

  SC Tom

  P.S. I don't have the option "Run as Administrator" when I right click on any printer on one of three different computers with three different operating systems, so I don't know where Microsoft came up with that one.

• Print spooler print server 2008 crash with file hpb6sy2917_x64gui.dll error

  Print spooler print server 2008 crash with file hpb6sy2917_x64gui.dll error

  This happened on 02/10/15 and happened again on 24/02/16. We have two printers that depend on this file. HP Color LaserJet 553 and HP LaserJet M604. I have over a hundred of the M604 on my network and the last time that this happened, it dominoed across the print server system.  This has also caused some spools of printing stop on end users. The only way I can get end users up is to uninstall the driver package.

  This issue affects the Windows Server 2008 and windows computers 7 as well.  Try to determine why this has happened twice and determine how fixit before the rest of my Server 2008 and end down as well.

  The error lies in the hpb6sy2917_x64gui.dll.

  

  This time I had to remove the printers and drivers with a regedit. I also deleted all files in all files for 2917 in the

  C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3 folder. But this time, when I reinstall the M604 M553 drivers and it lowers again print server spooler. I'm frustrated to say the least.

• Print spooler quirks / crashes.

  Hello

  I have some weird problems with the print spooler.  If I start the Printer Spooler service, some things do not work.  For example, the devices and printers will be just stand there and never show anything. If I try to print something and need to change the printer, any program I use will never show me a list of printers, it just sits there waiting.  Sometimes, when I click right on the desktop, Explorer crashes and has to be restarted.  If I turn off the print spooler, everything is a bit normal, except that I can't print.

  So far I have cleaned C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS and uninstalled different printer drivers, I had installed.  I also disabled all sorts of extensions of Shell ShellExView.  Nothing seems to help.

  Any ideas or suggestions?

  When you attempt to start the print spooler service, does actually start and continue running?

  What is the name and version of your anti-virus program? Is up to date?

  Download, install, update and run scans with MalwareBytes AntiMalware and SUPERAntiSpyware.  Use the free versions, not the Pro versions or trial of the Pro versions.  Pay attention during installation and uncheck all the options to install third-party toolbars, browsers, etc. prechecked.  Do not run the scans at the same time.  Let each program to remove what it finds.  When you're done, you can keep or uninstall the scanners.  If you keep SAS, I suggest configuring it so that it starts each time Windows starts.

  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2793718?wa=wsignin1.0 , given what you've already tried, I suggest you to go directly to "Full Mode".  You need to reinstall the printers after that.

• Update of Acrobat Pro XI crashed the program and the print spooler

  I have a brand new 10 windows computer and had installed Acrobat Pro XI which worked great until the latest update has been released. My computer tried to auto install the update and the update failed. Immediately when it failed, it crashed my spooler to print and all my printers disappeared; I was unable to reconnect to them without having to restart the computer.

  The Acrobat site suggested that if the update was unsuccessful and failed, I should uninstall Acrobat Pro and reinstall it. Well, I tried that and the problem cascaded gets worse. Acrobat does not provide ANY technical assistance with this kind of thing except through public forums.

  When I tried to uninstall Acrobat Pro, as the site of Acrobat has suggested, I ran into the problem with the print spooler again; He could not reset and start. For example, Acrobat Pro can / can not be uninstalled. I tried to 'fix' the installation without success. And when I tried to reinstall the program, it could not properly reinstall because I had to install the 'Adobe Application Manager' that does not install with the following message: "Installer failed to initialize. " Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem"and has provided a link. Of course, when you click on the link, you get another message, "that The Adobe Support Advisor has been abandoned" direct me to the forums that provide absolutely NO support for that either.

  At this point, I lost my * expensive * Adobe Acrobat Pro XI product, with no way to reinstall and no help to fix this Adobe created. In addition, I now have another serious problem with the print spooler.

  If * person * helpful suggestions, please send them my way. I'm ready to throw Acrobat altogether and never use one of their products that has been such a mess to deal with.

  Hi rickj90358804,

  If you try to install Acrobat XI via Adobe Application Manager, I suggest to download an installer manually using this link: download Pro or Standard versions of Acrobat DC, XI or X and try to install again.

  In addition, you can contact the support as kglad mentioned above.

  Kind regards

• Print spooler still crashes after that one document is printed.

  I am running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64-bit with 8 GB of RAM.  I have a Lexmark X 6650 printer wireless installed on it.  The problem is that I can print a document very well, and then if I try to print another document, the print spooler jams, requiring a reboot of the system to be able to resume printing.  Stop and restart the print through Services spooler has not solved the problem. Can someone help with this problem?

  The problem has been resolved.  The solution is to uninstall the printer, and then let Windows 7 reinstall with "add a printer" rather than reinstall it from the manufacturer's CD.
