print spooler stopped

Shutdown abnormally and now take print spooler stop.  I restart the spooler, but it stops again.  How can I fix it?  I should point out that I tried to uninstalled/reinstalled the HP printer, what has not worked.  I also tried to use Microsoft FIX it, that does not work either (it took me to a place that wanted to redo the records of money.

I would be very interested in what site you were directed and whether there was a link to this site as part of the FixIt.

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.

NOTE 2: Please identify your printer.  HP printer designations have more than a number.  They could be DeskJets, LaserJet, OfficeJets, or something else.

A. Clean on print jobs pending

  • Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
  • Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line

net stop spooler
del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
net start spooler
output

B. clean the old printer drivers and install the latest drivers by using the directions in One Article.  If you have (or had) a Lexmark printer, follow the instructions on the following site before installing the new drivers, as explained in its first Article: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm
