Error on reinstall printer - print spooler has not stopped.  Press 'Yes' to continue.  When presses loops back on the desktop.

Hi Stantheman60,

Before you can start to extract the file from the disc print spooler, we recommend to download and run the Microsoft Fix and check if you can install printer successfully. To do this, try the following steps:
a. visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324757
b. click Microsoft hotfix and run the tool successfully.
c. restart the computer so that the changes take effect.
d. install the printer and check the result.

  • 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 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

  • Vista print spooler stops

    The print in Vista spooler stops when I try to print. He said the strategy adopted by the DEP. All printers disappear. I have to manually restart the spooler service (it is set for the recovery of the car) and it can print for a bit, but the spooler stops again.

    Hello

    Since it is a DEP issue with a printer that could be a problem of IE (which concern Explorer and other functions of the system),
    a spooler problem, or both. Frankly I don't know that I have 1 but I'd probably use these
    Methods.

    EricLaw IEInternals - a peek at Internet Explorer from inside. -Understanding DEP/NX
    http://blogs.msdn.com/ieinternals/archive/2009/10/10/understanding-data-execution-prevention-crashes-in-IE8.aspx

    The problem might actually be an add-on or another program to the origin of the problem and you should check that
    1st.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you have NEVER on it
    machines, including those that you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    Start - all programs - Accessores - system tools - IE with no Addons - does this work better?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security - reset all Zones by default level - apply / OK

    not better?

    Close IE and try again IE or IE with no Addons

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
    "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
    are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

    Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
    are bad, but some can cause your question. (Toolbars are BHO)
    http://securityxploded.com/bhoremover.php

    Startup programs
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/79612-startup-programs-enable-disable.html

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever suspect malware, and it would be
    unusual with Prevx market except for an occasional cookie of low level (not a big deal), update it, then
    run as a scanner.

    http://www.Malwarebytes.org/

    I would add prevx so.

    Prevx - Home - small, fast, exceptional CLOUD free protection, working with other security programs. It comes
    a scan only, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something to come back here or use Google to see how to remove.

  • the print spooler stops when I try to print

    Please help me with my printer!

    I tried desperately to install an Epson WorkForce 615 on my computer, running Windows Vista 32-bit. Whenever I try, the print spooler stops and I can't move forward. I restart the print spooler and it stops again with each attempt. I tried every available quantity of advice that I could find online, to go into the registry and delete the files and enter cmd and stopping and restarting the spooler. I don't know what to do... Please help!
