Cannot print and all of my printer disappeared from my print list. Print spooler not working do not mistake

You can start the print spooler by clicking Start > run and type the following command in the box run and then click OK:

net start spooler

The real question, however, is why the print spooler service is stopped and you should do to prevent it to stop again.

You have a recent antivirus application with an active subscription? Which one?

Have you scanned your system for malware using MalwareBytes Anti-Malware AND SUPERAntiSpyware ?  If this isn't the case, get these free scanners and do.  Do not forget to update before you scan them.

If you have never installed a Lexmark printer, follow the instructions in a single Article to remove and reinstall the drivers for your printer.

If you have or had a Lexmark printer, follow these directions as well (from http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm )

If you have a Lexmark printer , these additional steps may be necessary (thanks to Robert Orleth [MSFT] to provide this information).  Sometimes, the Lexmarkprinter installation process installs a service that makes dependentPrint Spooler service itself.  If there is a problem withservice Lexmark or a Lexmark printer driver (or you have removed using the procedure above),Print Spooler service does not start (see also http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324757 ).  The steps below makePrint Spooler service only on service (RPCSS) remote procedure (RPC) call, which is normal.  Print Spooler service dependencies are stored in the registry at

HKEY_LOCAL_MACINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler\DependOnService

... The sc config command resets the value for this entry.

  1. Open a command prompt window

  2. the control key
           sc config spooler depend = RPCSS
       
    (Note the space after the = not before)

  3. Restart print spooler (see steps 8 and 9 above)

  • Printer spooler does not work for a single user on the network printer

    original title: very different printer problem

    I have a HP deskjet printer shared from a PC on the network.
    I was informed of a single person could not access error poped by saying "printer spooler does not work.
    I went to the services and made sure it was infact running and rebooted to be sure also restarted the RPC services as it is addictive
    Still, the user cannot print to the printer. I took the computer that has been seen issues and hung where fixed my PC and I am able to connect and print!

    If I move my computer witch would allow me to print before there where his computer is my computer prompt same error

    My idea is - what some are how a network issue, but the user can still access drives network, internet and other printers on the network

    Just not this printer

    The computer on the share is is a windows xp sp2 workstation

    The computer with the issue is any system I plug its cable Ethernet (XP anyway) I have not tried with a windows machine 7.

    My hypothesis is a bad Ethernet cable? I'm quite lost with this question at this stage.

    My next step is to hang the printer until a print area and assign an IP address and finish with the share.

    (Still not sure if it would help or not)

    Any advice is welcome thanks

    It turned out to be a bad switch. I don't understand why it did not work. All the computers had no problems other than the present even that if I swapped the ports it has made a difference.

    Hung new switch and all computers works fine now.

    Original title: printer

    Hello

    The print spooler is the mechanism that will interface between your application and the printer and coils (sends) the print job to the printer. It should start automatically when you start your machine. So, restart your computer and try again. I suspect that the real problem is to find why the print spooler has stopped in the first place.

    After trying again, see what happens and if your print spooler stops again, the real work will begin.

    Kind regards

  • Printer spooler does not work. Printer registry file corrupted

    My printer HP Deskjet F2430 does not work. The print spooler is not running. I can't stop and restart services. The registry file is damaged. No printer is displayed in the printers and faxes Control Panel site. How can I clean up the corrupt registry files? Thank you very much.

    Hi MIchelle,

    Try to click on Start-> Run Type & -> services.msc-> spooler printer-> Double click on-> start and select automatic for startup type.

    If give you the error, try to replace spoolsv.exe is located in C:\windows\system32 in C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386.

  • I get a message that the print spooler does not work

    printer was arrested, computer, shut down, turn on the computer, open a word file, checked the spooler.exe and it sees immediately 99% CPU usage.  Then I get a message that says that the spooler is not enabled.  What should I do?

    Are you trying to print before you get the error message or just come to the top as soon as you open a microsoft word file? are you sure this is spooler.exe which is taking up all the CPU not all processes combined?

  • the print spooler does not work

    removed and reinstalled the Lexmark 2600 software, but without success.

    In the Services pane, click on "Alert" and scroll down until you see "print spooler".

    Click on "Start service" or "Restart Service", as the case may be.

    The print spooler should work now.

  • Print spooler does not. Unable to use printer

    Cannot print.  Cannot add a printer.  Can't download new drivers.  C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SPOOLSV. EXE is a program that does not work.

    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.

  • 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.
