• Windows 7 - print spooler starts is not after the October 14 update

  I have a HP pavilian HPE running Windows 7 professional 64-bit.   After that the windows updates were installed on 14 October, the print spooler service does not start.  So yesterday I used the system restore to go back, and the problem was solved.  Today, I removed some old print drivers and re-installed updates, and now the print spooler service does not start again.

  What should do?

• 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.

• The Print Spooler Service is not running. Operating system is Windows XP Service Pack 3.

  I followed the suggestion to use start > Control Panel > administration tool > services > print spooler > properties.

  System in automatic mode but State of the said service stopped.

  I get error 1075: the dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.

  Printer worked this AM, but stopped working between two print jobs.

  I used Mr. Fixit to diagnose and fix the problem. Mr. Fixit indicates the print spooler service is not running, but cannot fix it.

  Is there a source code for Windows XP service pack 3 which can be downloaded to replace the corrupted code?

  Thanks for your help

  Robear:

  I'll be back of the travel.  I'm after the suggestion of CARI.  Seems to be the right track.

  My print spooler system component is missing from the remote procedure call.  If I restore it, I think that the print spooler is reactive.  Suggestions of curry hit Start, Program Files, accessories and they type net start spooler.  However, after the departure, I don't see any Program Files, so am unable to complete the suggested path.

• 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.

  Hi LeanderML,

  Your question is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for Windows Server on TechNet. Please ask your question in the Forums in Technet Windows Server.

• The print spooler service is not running

  I had a virus that I got rid of but now my printer does not print, it comes up with "the print spooler service is not running" and I can't add a printer.  What should I do to solve this problem.

  It's pretty easy to start the print spooler service... but may not stay started.

  To restart the print spooler:

  • Click Start, click Run, and then type services.msc in the run box, and then click OK
  • Scroll down the list until you get to the print spooler and double-click the entry
  • Make sure that the "Startup Type" is "automatic".
  • Click on the button 'Start '.
  • OK your way out

  In the likely case where this isn't a solution permanent for you, when you post, include the following information:

  1. What version of Windows you have, including the service pack (start > run > winver > OK)
  2. What make and model of printer you have
  3. What antivirus you have installed
  4. If your computer was without an antivirus application or current subscription for your antivirus (in other words, how is it you got infected in the first place)
  5. What steps you have taken to determine that your system is now free of malware (i.e. what applications antivirus and antimalware you scanned the system with)
