  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.

• 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!

• All-in-One L7550: all-in-One printer L7550 stop working after a Win 10 update

  In the last two days my printer has stopped working after many updates to Win 10.  Functions in fact any printing has stopped (swirling points) to include my PDF SW.  I downloaded the last SW all-in-One and tried to install it.  The first thing that happened is that he tried to remove the previous SW.  Hooked to halfway through it.  Then, it was a nightmare.  I can't get the rest of the SW uninstalled nor can I install the latest SW.  I even tried to install the previous SW in Win 7 compatibility, but after extraction it just stops.  Tried to install the current version in Win 8 conpatibility, but it also wrong on.

  Any ideas wher can I start?

  Welcome to the Forums of HP, @CharlieCC,.

  I hope to help you with installation and uninstallation issues you are having with your Officejet L7550 on Windows 10. Before you get any software troubleshooting, try to make a copy of the front of the printer. If copies work fine, continue with the steps below to work on the issues of software!

  Step 1: perform a level 3 Uninstall to remove completely all the files to your system printer.

  1. Hold down the Windows Logo key () on the keyboard and the 'R' to open the dialog box run, type %temp%
  2. Delete all files and folders in the temp folder. Choose Skip if all pop ups seem to say all files cannot be deleted
  3. Download the software and choose to save money, save it on the desktop: all-in-one printer, HP Officejet Pro L7550
  4. After downloading software and extracts, reopen the temp folder, use the instructions in step 1.
  5. Locate and open the folder starting with 7z (example: 7zS2356)
  6. Open the folder Util
     
  7. The CCC folder
  8. If you have a computer HP run the L3uninstall.exe (or .bat).
  9. Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the computer
  10. Follow these steps to reset the registry settings and options for Windows Installer.

• 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.

  PCmag - Prevx - Editor's choice

  ====================================

  If nothing else works you can try this however I would use as a last resort.

  IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced Options - Security Section - clear the check box enable memory Protection to mitigate
  Online - APPLY - OK attacks close and restart IE

  Use this method to clear the spooler and then uninstall and reinstall your printer (check with the manufacturer for)
