  I have XP and I cannot get my printer spooler service to restart, get error 1068, is there something I can do

  This error is probably due to the fact that you had (have) a Lexmark (or Dell Lexmark brand) printer installed.  Some Lexmark printers install a service and make the print service spooler depend on the Lexmark service.  So, if something happens to the Lexmark service, the print spooler cannot start.

  The first thing to do is to ensure that the print spooler dependencies are correct.  Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK) and type the following line and press ENTER.  Note that there is no space before the = but there is a space after it.

  dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS

  Now clean the printing system: However before cleaning things up, on general principles, 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.

• Equium M40X: Cannot print - not done. Print Spooler service does not

  My notebook Equium M40X has suddenly decided to stop from allowing me to print, gives me the message "operation was not completed. "print spooler service does not. I get this message even when you try to install the original installed printer drivers.

  To resolve this problem, I went to the services.msc to attempt to start the print spooler, but the command is not here present and seems to be missing. I also tried to launch it by clicking Start and then run and typing "net start spooler", but even once, it does not. Can anyone help with this?

  My laptop is an Equium M40X and the operating system is Windows XP Service Pack 2.

  Hello

  This error occurs because the spooler service has not been started or has stopped working.
  It seems that this error is known to Microsoft and they decided to public an article in the knowledge base that could help solve this problem.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314876

  As you say that the spooler service must be restarted.
  To start the spooler service, follow these steps:
  1. click on start and then click Control Panel.
  2. double-click Administrative Tools and then click Services.
  3. double-click on the Printer Spooler service and then change the startup type to automatic. This option sets the spooler service starts automatically when you restart the computer.
  4. If you want to start the spooler service immediately, click the Start button under the Service status field

  If you will not be able to restart the spooler service, you can try to restore the Windows operating system to the point initially by using the Windows System Restore tool.

  I think that your problem is related to the way that Lexmark install printers, as explained in this excerpt from the article linked in step B below (step numbers refer to article in full):

  If you have a Lexmark printer, these additional steps may be necessary (thanks to Robert Orleth [MSFT] to provide this information).  Sometimes, the Lexmark printer installation process installs a service that makes dependent Print Spooler service itself.  If there is a problem with service 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 make Print 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_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler\DependOnService

  The sc config step 16 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)

• the print spooler service may not be running

  Hello

  I have 4 computers around here, and I'm trying to get a printserver running on one of them, so we have installed windows 2008, set up as a server to printing etc..
  Now when I try to add the printer to my computer laptop windows 7, it works perfectly, and is the same for one of the windows xp workstations.
  However, when I try to add the printserver on windows server 2003, it starts talking about missing drivers.

  The printer is a HP LJCP3505 PCL6, and he is already working on a normal (eg. non-printserver associated) network.
  I downloaded almost all the drivers, I could find from the HP website, but whenever I try to add them, it tells me that they are not valid drivers.
  and on another computer windows 7, I get the following error message:

  Could not connect to the printer.
  On the server print spooler service could not be executed.
  Restart the spooler or restart the server

  (on a side note: it's a translated error message, our systems are not English)

  I don't know if they are related, but I checked the print spooler service, and it was fine (auto startup, active etc.).
  the same goes for its dependencies.
