PRINT SPOOLER service does not START, ERROR: 1058 - Service cannot be started.

OS = XP SP3

As directed by Microsoft and Dell knowledge base, I deleted the printer spools and pilot; and edited my registry, remove the drivers and monitors printing.  I also followed a process dictated by the KB919750, nothing helped.

I am unable to add printers, because of this problem.

  • Windows print spooler service:

    I need a fix for a problem in Windows XP - error 1722 Print - Spooler Service please help.

    I am trying to install a HP OfficeJet 6500 printer/fax to my computer a.  The print spooler driver does not work.

    How can I solve this problem?  Please help me.

    I tried for hours to try the fixes listed on Windows and HP websites without success.

    Select Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, view, advanced settings and check the box in front of "show files and folders" and 'Hide protected operating system files' are unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second element. You should also make sure that the box before "Hide extensions of known file types" is not checked.

    You must watch rather than searching for them.

    There is also a System 32 folder located in the folder "I386" on your Windows CD. This System 32 folder contains the compressed form of your Windows XP boot files. If you need to replace a system file 32 on the hard drive of your computer, you can extract the necessary files to the folder I386 on the Windows operating system CD.

    Source:http://www.ehow.com/about_6621878_system-32-windows-xp_.html

    Any other advice would be greatly appreciated...

    Hello yan_dao69,

    I suggest that you try the methods below to solve the problem.

    Method 1:

    I suggest that you run the printer troubleshooter. This will automatically diagnose and fix printing problems:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-printer-Troubleshooter

    Ideally, this would set the print spooler service issues.

    Method 2:

    I suggest that you disable the Antivirus software temporarily and verify if you are able to start the print spooler service. You can check the link that will give you information disable antivirus below:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Please make sure that you enable the antivirus software after the test to keep your computer protected.

    Method 3:

    Check the dependency of the spooler services in the registry.

    a. Click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

    b. look for, and then click the following registry key:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler

    c. right-click on spooler, click Export, save a backup file on your desktop.

    NOTE: If an unforeseen problem be encountered after changing the registry, please double-click on the file to restore the backup.

    d. in the details pane, if the DependOnService value shows values of RPCSS and other key, right-click DependOnService and then click on edit.

    e. in the value data box, delete the other keys and then click OK.

    f. exit the registry editor.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  • 1053 error print spooler does not start

    Hi I have a HP Photosmart C4783 and all of a sudden, I can't print more.

    I tried to restart the coil, but it's just for me that error 1053 and some blah on demand does not in a timely fashion.

    I went into System 32 to ensure that spool.exe is still there and it is.

    I am running windows 7 64 bit and all updates, including the printer are up-to-date.

    Everything was fine until a few days ago and I have no new hardware or software installed.

    It's really boring it would be great if someone has an answer that does not include trawl by a thousand other items that suggest the reboot of the coil.

    Thank you guys.

    If you get error 1053 when print spooler starts, it is usually a problem with the operating system itself.  However, I have something I would like you to try as a way to get the spooler to start.

    • Open the command run by selecting it from the start menu or by pressing the Windows key (to the left of the alt) + R

    • Type services.msc and press enter

    • Scroll down and double click on print spooler

    • Select the tab log

    • Uncheck the Allow service to interact with desktop

    • Click apply

    • Select the general tab for the print spooler, and then select start

    This becomes the print spooler to start successfully?

  • 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.

     

  • I want to add a printer, but get the error message "print spooler service does not work."

    I can't print from my computer.  This has happened with no other visible defects on the computer or the printer.

    When I use the printer in case of problem, and hit the 'add printer' link, I get the error message "print spooler service is not."

    "I did a search on"print spooler"but got no result

    Duane

    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.

  • How can I fix the error message "the print spooler service does not work."?

    All printer drivers that I had loaded do not work or have disappeared.  After you download the printer drivers, I got the error message: "operation could not be performed.  The print spooler service is not running. "I have Windows XP.  I need to print now!

    To start the print spooler service, click Start > all programs > Accessories > run. In the run box type in services.msc. In the Windows Services window right-click on print spooler and select open. You will then see the options "Start automatically", and then on the button 'Start Service'. Click on those and then click apply then OK. Who should start the print spooler service, however, if you get an error message, see the link below for more information.
