  Hello
  Please tell us the version of the Windows operating system you are running on your computer.

• 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.

• The Print Spooler Service has stopped. Restart the print spooler and try to print and make the same mistake.

  Recharging according to the printing software and get always the same error.

• the print spooler service may not be running

  Hello

  I have 4 computers around here, and I'm trying to get a printserver running on one of them, so we have installed windows 2008, set up as a server to printing etc..
  Now when I try to add the printer to my computer laptop windows 7, it works perfectly, and is the same for one of the windows xp workstations.
  However, when I try to add the printserver on windows server 2003, it starts talking about missing drivers.

  The printer is a HP LJCP3505 PCL6, and he is already working on a normal (eg. non-printserver associated) network.
  I downloaded almost all the drivers, I could find from the HP website, but whenever I try to add them, it tells me that they are not valid drivers.
  and on another computer windows 7, I get the following error message:

  Could not connect to the printer.
  On the server print spooler service could not be executed.
  Restart the spooler or restart the server

  (on a side note: it's a translated error message, our systems are not English)

  I don't know if they are related, but I checked the print spooler service, and it was fine (auto startup, active etc.).
  the same goes for its dependencies.

  Hi LeanderML,

  Your question is more complex than what is generally answered in the Microsoft Answers forums. It is better suited for Windows Server on TechNet. Please ask your question in the Forums in Technet Windows Server.

• For some reason, the Printer Spooler service is not running. Don't know what I did to accomplish this. How to reconnect the Printer Spooler service.

  For some reason any my printer spooler service stops working on my computer.  Don't know how it happened.  Can anyone suggest how I can reconnect the service on my computer for my computer printer spooler will process orders to the printer.  THX

  Click Start, type services.msc

  Right-click Print Spooler, and then click Start

  Note the error messages if no and include them in your response.

• "Printer properties cannot be displayed. The print spooler service is not running. "(even when it works)

  When I click with the right button on a particular printer and try to view the properties of it, I get the following message:

  Printer properties cannot be displayed.  The print spooler service is not running

  It is, it is run as go to-> Services administrative tools in the Control Panel checks.

  One of the 'printers', I installed is "send to OneNote 2007".  I can click right on this very well - just not this another printer. I'd be able to do if the print spooler is not running?

  Indeed, if I turn off the print spooler, * all * printer in "Printers and faxes" disappear.  So the fact that I'm still see them first place suggests to me that the printer spooler is running.

  I posted this on Microsoft.public.windowsxp.general a while ago and someone suggested that I visit this site .  Problem is C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS is empty.  It is empty when the print spooler is running and it is empty when it is not.

  Also, I was unable to install KB896423 since I am running SP3.  Try to install he did the following:

  Setup has detected that the version of Service Pack for this system is newer than the update you are applying.

  There is no need to install this update.

  The printer is a "local printer attached to this computer" connected via a "Standard TCP/IP Port".  Personally, I think such a printer should be called "a network printer or a printer attached to another computer", but that is the terminology used by the "Add Printer Wizard".

  Hello terrafrost,.

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

  What is the model number of the printer that you are using?

  Printing a "Standard TCP/IP Port, is used for a printer that is directly connected to a network, not on your local system.

  I would try to uninstall your printer and reinstall your printer.

  Hope this helps Chris.H
