Printer installation tries to install e-printer on a netbook... don't get a message on the spooler service. What is the spooler service?

Try to install e-printer on a netbook... don't get a message on the spooler service.  What is the spooler service?

Hi Pat,

Spooler service manages print jobs by saving in a queue and submit them to the printer in order specified instead of sending them directly (which can cause the printer back up if too is sent at a time depending on how printing is setup and the printer works).

Try the simple fix to see if it works.  Go to start / Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services and place you on print spooler and double-click it.  Click the Dependencies tab, go to all the services listed there and confirm that they are automatic and started.  If this is not the case, change it to automatic, and then restart them.  Once finished, return to the print spooler and set it to automatic and start it.  Click OK and close out Services and control panel and restart.  When you come back, come back to Services and check that the print spooler again told automatic and started.  If this isn't the case, after back and let's check other things.  If so, proceed to the installation of the printer, and this particular problem should no longer be a problem.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!
