  Hello world

  I have back Windows 10 to Windows 7 Home Premium as suggested previously and it worked fine. Then knit as well as the sound function keys, but I now have a problem with the printer. I have a Toshiba Satellite.

  I am trying to print and get the message "...". You must install a printer.

  I reinstalled my Epson WF-2630, but when I try to add a printer in devices and printers, I receive the message "Windows can't open add printer." The local spooler service sprint does not work. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine.

  Can someone help, please?

  Thank you very much

  Check with Epson support, their documentatiion online and drivers. As it's Epson OEM

• After running diagnostics and restart the spooler does not print HP 7000

  I have two HP printers: Officejet 7000 wide format and Officejet Pro 8500 wireless and right now, neither one of them will be printed.  I have run all diagnostics on the 7000 and it indicates that the printer is working correctly.  My OS is Windows 7 64 bit and I got no error message nor have I installed new hardware, etc.   Currently, I have a document 'stuck' in limbo in the two printers.  I restarted the spooler which did not help the cause.  When I try to cancel all documents, it just shows 'delete... '. "and it's not fair.  In addition, I unplugged the usb for the 7000 and unplugged the printer, which did not help either.  It is interesting that both printers do this - I published recently several documents without problem.  Unfortunately, I am preparing for an upcoming class reunion in the coming days and still need to print additional documents.  Naturally, your expertise and your help is greatly appreciated and I hope there is a solution to these problems.  Thanking you in advance for a quick response.

  Perseverance pays!  After update some programs, etc... I'm now able to print!  I didn't know how to do this "resolved", so I'm posting it here.

• OfficeJet Pro 8600 n911g stops and you need to restart the spooler on Win Xp

  Hello

  I have an OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911g printer.  It is networked and I put the static IP address on the printer.

  I have a user with about once a day to restart the Windows print spooler service so that tasks start printing.  I loaded, uninstalled and reloaded the Windows XP drivers.

  Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?

  Hello

  Have you used the latest version of the software on the HP site?

  If not, uninstall the printer from programs > HP > printer folder and then install the latest version below:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-108858-3&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=228&product=4323648&sw_lang=

  I suspect also any security program which may block the network connection (assuming that by the description of problem on a single user), temporary disable any software firewall running and check if that can cause printing to stay in spool it print.

  Try to run the HP print and Scan doctor, click on network > firewall help and make sure any firewall running is disabled, then follow Fiox print and check what is happening:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=MP-109037-2&cc=us&DLC=en&LC=en&OS=228&product=4323648&sw_lang=

  If still the same I guess rather the envoirnment of the OS, you can try running Microsoft Fixit to diagnose service print spooler for questions and automatically check if this can help:

• Restart the computer cause printer 'disappear '.

  Hello

  I'm having this problem for a while. I have HP 1020 printer and Windows 7 x 64, installed the latest printer drivers from the official site... but when I restart the computer there are no printers in the section "devices and printers" in the Panel. When I clik print format in Word for example, nothing happens, no print dialog box. When I click on add a printer in "devices and printers" it says "Windows can't open add printer." The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine. Printer driver not yet "solves" the problem but only until the next reboot and so much more... And there is no driver or something else with HP in the "Add Remove" section of the Control Panel, in order to clean uninstal and drivers.

  Someone, help, its very annoying...

  Thank you!

  It seems that something prevents kill your print spooler. Have you ever had a Lexmark printer installed on this computer? I ask because sometimes they can cause a dependency in the print spooler that needs to be addressed. To try to solve the problem when he gets up, run the print HP and Scan Dr. it should restart the print spooler and disappear temporarily problems with it.

• test page is stuck in the spooler

  Recently, I took off my printer.  I've added back now.  She appears in the dashboard as the default printer.  When I try to print a document, it appears in the queue, but nothing happens.  Earlier, a test page is stuck in the queue.  I took actions: I stopped and restarted the spooler.  I deleted the items in the queue.  I turned both my computer and my printer and turn it back on.  I moved the USB cable from the printer from one platform to another.  At this point when I go to 'see what's printing', I have a single document in the queue and a test page that shows that it is in "remove" status.  Nothing happens. Help, please.

  If you not him have not already made, add the part about deleting the files in the printer folder and see if that helps.

• How to restart the print spooler in Wnidows 8

  The print spooler is a service that is built into most Windows operating systems. His job is to help control print jobs and interact with the printer. Problems with the print spooler are blocked in the queue of print jobs.

  Sometimes the print spooler stops working or was an error to occur. The following video shows how to restart the print spooler service in Windows 8.

  For similar problems with printing try printing HP and the Scan doctor. It is a diagnostic utility that can sometimes find and solve printing problems. Find and fix common problems printer using HP Diagnostic tools

  I hope this helps someone who has problems with their print spooler or who needs to restart. If someone has a problem to restart the print spooler let me know and include your computer model number and that you use 32-bit or 64-bit of Windows 8.

• Error 2: The system cannot find the specified file. Even after restarting the Printer Spooler service

  I tried all of the suggestions posted and have had no success in restarting my print spooler. Help, please.

  Original title: I tried to restart the print spooler as directed, and he returned the error 2: the system cannot find the specified file. He does that and is it fixable?

  @Winston Microsoft M committed Support Engineer 'expert '.

  I can see your response that you did take the time to reproduce the problem and then try your own ideas to check if the problem persists.

  Here is what I suggest to you, so you can learn how XP actually works:

  Start in the XP Recovery Console or Safe Mode, so Windows File Protection does not run.

  Rename your file c:\windows\system32\spoolsv.exe you can remember (such as spoolsv.bak).  Now, the file is "absent".

  Restart normally.

  Then try to start the Print Spooler Service and you will see the error.

  So why don't you follow your own advice and run SFC and troubleshooting automated (as you suggested) and check if the problem persists.

  Please report your results.

  When you see that it does help and that SFC does not replace the missing or damaged file (in the system32 folder) and that the automated troubleshooter does not help, will sing it a different song (we hope).

  Don't forget to rename your spoolsv.bak to spoolsv.exe when you're done messing around autour.

  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.
