print spooler seems to be turned off how do I turn it on?

Hello
 
Windows operating system you are using?
 
A print spooler is software that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print. If you were expecting an abnormally long time to print a document, or if you see an error message about the print spooler, Spooler subsystem or spooler resources, you might need to change and then restart the print spooler service on your computer.

    I don't know what exactly, but I wonder if the print spooler service has something to do with Toshiba directly or maybe you should ask Microsoft which is bad it.

  • 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?

  • How to fix: Error 1053 of the print spooler

    Are you an error when you try to restart the print spooler?  Do you have your printer spooler error and now, do not restart?

    You saw "error 1053: the service did not demand launch or control in a timely.?

    There is a page of Microsoft support with information about this error, which can be found here.

    According to Microsoft:

    • Question: The ServiceBase class calls the OnStop method directly from the Service command handler that is defined in the ScDispatcherLoop of the Advapi32.dll file. After 30 seconds, if the ScDispatcherLoop thread is not ready to receive a new order of service from service control manager, Windows brand services controller out service as 'time '. Therefore, you receive this error message.
    • Resolution: to resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft .NET Framework.

    This resolution works for some, and allows the service to return to the correct functionality.  However, I want to provide workaround incase this option does not work for some.

    • Open the run command 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

    I have the confirmation that this workaround works for some users.  The link below will take you to a thread where this information has resolved this error a user in these forums:

    1053 error print spooler does not start thread

    Here is the video where the workaround steps, listed above, were found.  The video also gives a graphical representation of these steps for those who prefer the Visual instructions.

    I hope this helps users with error 1053 of print spooler.

  • Photosmart HP 6520: Print spooler

    I was able to print from my phone (Samsung Galaxy s7) without problem on several different HP using the card of HP printers in. In the last three weeks, I get the message that has not stopped the print spooler. I took the plug stop, off, reinstalled, and I get the same message.

    Hey @castettower, Hello and welcome to the Forums of HP!

    I understand that you see a message that has not stopped the print spooler. As I understand it, there is no option to restart the spooler given only with a Windows operating system, but I'll help you with an alternative.

    First of all, we will make a copy of all your personal data, photos, etc. on an external device. Then try to clear the cache of your printing application:

    1. Press the Menu button , then select Control Panel(or settings ).
    2. Click handler applications ( Apps).
    3. Tap the icon that you want to repair.
    4. Click Empty the Cache.

    After you complete these steps, check if the application is working correctly. If it still does not respond, repeat steps 1-3, and then click delete data.

    Keep in mind, deletion of the data of the application deletes any custom options and settings; It's the same as uninstalling and reinstall the application.

    If this resolves the issue, please click Accept as Solution button to mark your post as solved. If the problem persists, let me know and I will do everything I can to help.

  • Canon printer this print spooler problem

    I have a printer canon set up a network for the last 12 months without a problem.  Today, when I press print, the document goes to the spooler, but does not print.  Only when I restart the computer will display the items.  All other computers on the network are not performed.  According to the Canon when I called them, they said that I had a problem of print spooler.  The spooler is set to automatic and when I manually restart the spooler prints the item.  The printer driver has been reinstalled and I am sure this isn't the printer.  How can I solve this problem, then the element I want to print, print when I press the button?
