stopping applications of print spooler
Hi gurus.
I stuck a strange print spooler problem that I would like advice on. I read the solutions presented, but I'm not sure of the relevance that they are. I'm still collecting information but need a referral on exactly what would be useful.
We have 5 computers of different types with windows 7 (home premium) or windows 10, all with the same symptoms. About 3 weeks ago all suddenly started having problems with the print spooler. If the computers are restarted, they will work for a while, then office (word, excel, access and outlook) .exc excel, excel, access and outlook applications) stops responding. Will not charge or will stop when you select the print function. Stop the spooler of pint immediately solves the problem. But once it is restarted the problem reoccur later.
There are several different printers, including a couple of connected network and also a USB printer. 3 different printrr models.
I am told that there has been no new application or software loaded nor were updates applied at the time the problem occurred first, although Microsoft patches are applied automatically so that they can not have noticed a.
Does anyone have ideas on where to start on this one?
Thank you

When I want to use my computer, I have to insert the CD of Lexmark and reinstall it. My operating system is XP Pro and I use a Lexmark Z55 printer.
I have to re - install the printer almost after each use. I went through technical help with Lexmark and they advise me to contact Microsoft.
The problem is the printer spooler and it will go back to stop mode after each use.
Would appreciate any help
Thank you
I'm not Bruce (although I can see why you might have thought if :-)).
You haven't seen a 'Version 3' as in this picture (or, as Bruce page, may be Version 2 or both):
It can be a bit difficult to find the utility appropriate among everything in the Resource Kit. Try to download just cleanspl.exe there--> http://honestpchelp.com/2011/cleanspl-exe-print-spooler-cleaner/ (which is not my site, but I downloaded the file in the past and it seems to be both authentic and malware-free).

I should point out that I tried to uninstalled/reinstalled the HP printer, what has not worked.

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
SUPERAntiSpywareDo 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.
NOTE 2: Please identify your printer. HP printer designations have more than a number. They could be DeskJets, LaserJet, OfficeJets, or something else.
A. Clean on print jobs pending
- Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
- Type the following in the black command prompt window, and then press ENTER after each line
net stop spooler

net start spooler
outputB. clean the old printer drivers and install the latest drivers by using the directions in One Article. If you have (or had) a Lexmark printer, follow the instructions on the following site before installing the new drivers, as explained in its first Article: http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

applications using the lock to the top print spooler when trying to print
I have a printer connected directly to my router and access it via a TCP/IP port. It works with my Windows Vista and Windows 7 computers in Microsoft applications. However, on my Windows XP computer, it will print in Internet Explorer or programs that do not use the print spooler. When I try to print from MS Word for example, the program crashes. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers for printer more than once. Any suggestions?

Hi Stantheman60,
Before you can start to extract the file from the disc print spooler, we recommend to download and run the Microsoft Fix and check if you can install printer successfully. To do this, try the following steps:
a. visit http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324757
b. click Microsoft hotfix and run the tool successfully.
c. restart the computer so that the changes take effect.
d. install the printer and check the result.See also: error message when you use the Add Printer Wizard: 'Operation could not be completed'

How to start the print spooler service because it stopped
local print spooler service stopped working on vista how to restart
Double-click the print spooler service to view its page properties...
go to the TAB more far away on the right, should be "dependencies".
It should display a list of components or services that must be running in order for the spooler service is running.
The bottom in the properties page window shows the services that must run so that the components to run...
in essence, you would have a trail leading you exactly what service it is not working, which prevents the spooler service to run. -
Lexmark x 5470 print spooler keeps stopping
Everything was fine until last week. For some reason, I can print is no longer in Vista. He kept coming up with an error message that the spooler of sprint has stopped running. I would like to restart the spooler, but within seconds it would stop. I found a few articles on this problem & tried many fixs. None worked. I tried uninstalling the Lexmark x 5470 printer and reload the driver. After doing this, I tried to reload the driver from the Lexmark website, but when he tried to install the printer, he couldn't find / contact him. I tried following the dirtections unplug & plug but nothing has helped. I then looked at the print spooler, and again, it has been stopped. Any ideas what's happening?
HP has its own update that I think could be the cause.
