Print spooler is disabled, how to turn on?

Original title - print spooler

I received a message stating that my print spooler is disabled after that I had to reformat my new machine, Windows 8. How do I turn this thing? Sorry to be a Luddite.

Steve,

What printer you are using? What is the model?

Which printer driver you installed on the computer? He received by the manufacturer of the printer?

Try this:

Open Services by typing "Services.msc" in the Run command window and clickin on 'Ok '.

Double click on "Printer Spooler" Services listed there.

Click on stop, click OK and go to '% WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers' and all delete this folder.

Now again go to Services.msc and start the Printer Spooler service and change the startup as "Automatic" Type

Click Ok and restart the computer and check.

    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:

    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.

  • DeskJet 3050 has J611Series: HP Print service is disabled - how to activate it?

    I'm trying to print from my Samsung Galaxy Tab S, SM-T805. Under settings: connectionsprinting, I see the HP Print Service Plugin is turned off, and by clicking on the icon displays a screen that tells me that the service is disabled. There's no obvious way to turn it on.

    When I followed a link on the same screen to download an app playstore, HP Print Service Plugin box is there, with a beat in a box to the right of the btm, but when I open it, I just see the uninstall option - not install or update, so I guess that the version I have is the latest. I actually uninstall, then reinstall, but no change.

    So, how can I activate it? WiFi is turned on, the printer is offline.

    In Applications, I select the plugin that shows the version 2.8 - 1.5.0 - 10F - 16.1.16 - 71.  Apparently, there is no button to activate it.

    If I understand well there is not a core function, and I do not wish to use the cloud at all.

    Looking for one suggests this is not an unusual problem, but I have not found a solution so far.

    Any ideas please?

    @silverman166, I'm just looking at your post and hoping that I might be able to help!

    I'm working on a Samsung Galaxy S5, Android 5.0 Lollipop so I hope that you will be able to follow the screenshots.

    As you have already mentioned you downloaded service of HP Print plugin via Google game store, so all the options at my disposal should be the same for you.

    (1) in the settings for 'Print' in the section scroll to connect and share

    (2) select the printing to HP Service Plugin

    (3) in the upper right corner, drag the glider to the right to activate the plugin.

    4) press OK

    (5) your HP Print Plugin should now be enabled.

    Hope this helps you activate the Plugin HP!

  • 962 Printer Spooler Dell all-in-One turned off.

    When I try to print, it comes back with the spooler is turned off.

    Then I find that it does not find the printer to print.

    However, I can scan from the printer to a file and that works very well.  The fax seems to work, too.

    I have unplugged, rebooted the whole system several times.

    I inserted the original disk and reinstalled the printer thinking that a driver is missing.

    I have Windows 7 and nothing has changed so far.

    Solution?

    I suggest that you see the advice of PudgyOne in this thread of community Dell:

  • How can I get a print spooler for jet Office 6500 E709n

    somehow my print spooler is gone how can I get a new one, I ran the installation, diagnosis and utility and no doesn't solve the problem. I can see the printer on my wireless network but cannot print on it

    If your PRINT SPOOLER IS 'GONE', you may need to contact WINDOWS for that matter. I would check everything first well.

    What operating system do you use? If windows 7 or XP, follow these steps:

    1. click on Start Menu
    2 right click computer
    3. choose MANAGE
    4. click on Services and Applications
    5. choose the Services
    6 scroll down until you see PRINT SPOOLER, if it is there, click on it and RUN it

    IF you DO NOT SEE what LIST, you will need to communicate with WINDOWS, because you have to maybe reformat your OS, but contact them first.

    Let me know if this can help, thank you.

  • How to turn off filtering to connect to a printer by MAC address?

    original title: MAC address filtering?

    I'm trying to connect an hp photosmart wireless on my new computer printer, a print says that if I have active filtering by MAC address I should add to my list of devices allowed for wireless router. I am a beginner and do not MAC how to turn off the printer.?

    All devices in the world that can connect to a network has an address unique identification enter the MAC address.  (This has NOTHING to do with Apple products - although they will also have mac addresses.)

    Your printer will be on documentation and probably on the box.

    Most routers have the ability to allow only the addresses specified MAC communicate through the router.  If you do not have this filtering enabled in your router then you need do nothing.  If you have enabled mac filtering, then you must type the address of the printer in the appropriate in the router configuration page.

    There is nothing on the printer '' disable'. (sic)
