• 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.

  Hi RobynGP,
   
  This may occur if the print spooler requires other services, and these services are not running. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
   
  1. in Services, right-click on print spooler and then click Properties.
  
  2. click the Dependencies tab. The first box list all system services that must work for the print spooler start. These are dependencies.
  
  3 make a note of each service, click OK, and restart each service on which the print spooler is dependent, if the service is not already started. If a service is not started, right-click, click Properties, and then make sure that the startup type is automatic.
   
  Let us know if this helped.

• 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)

• When you try to add a printer, get error Printer Spooler service is not running

  I lost my printer and when I click Add printer, I get the message of this operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running. Then, the computer detects the new hardware and says the RPC server is unavailable can help?

  Check the status of 'Print spooler' & RPC (remote Procedure Call) services in the services window. You can check the link below to change the status of the services.

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc736564%28WS.10%29.aspx

  After the services start, delete all previous printers. Uninstall the drivers and then try to reinstall the printer again.

  If the problem still persists to the print spooler, you can import the registry across the entry below machine & merge the machine to issue:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler

  Also check out the link for your RPC unavailable problem:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/242079

  Now, try to restart the print spooler new service & try to install the printer.

  Note: instead of copying files from another machine you can also run the SFC/scannow.

• Print Spooler service is not running, or active directory domain services is currently unavailable.

  Printers are not listed for printing set up in Word, Notepad, Adobe, etc., when I try to add a printer, he said the local print spooler service is not running, or domain services active directory is currently unavailable.  Printers are shown on the list of devices, and when I run the troubleshooting it says that the print spooler problem is solved.  but I still can't print.  The question is on a laptop Samsung bought in store Microsoft to OakBrook, Illinois.

  It started on 8 July and I was not able to resolve since.  In reviewing the restore points, I don't see any problems, and printers are recorded in the other PC, I plugged in.

  Thanks for your help.

  Imran,

  Thank you very much for the reply onse.  I appreciate it.  I tried your suggestions and everything in the fix he said that the print spooler has been repaired, it would not print.  I ran the scanner and came without any problem.

  I did a restore of the system to a point prior to the issuance and the printers are busy, apparently something in an update has a problem.  I'll look next week and see what happens.

  Thanks again for your reply and your suggestions, I appreciate it.
