    I have a 8.1 Microsoft Windows and a HP Desktop 2512.

    My computer no longer recognises my printer. I keep receiveing an error of 0x800706b9 print spooler

    I tried the net start spooler command, but that has failed. What to do next? Help, please!

    Hey @crod57,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you are no longer able to print from your computer Windows 8.1 for the all-in-one printer HP Deskjet 2512 as your computer reports a 'print spooler error: 0x800706b9'. I would like to help you today with the resolution of this error of print spooler. Now, just so you know, the print spooler is a feature of your operating system. It is integrated with your Windows computer. Essentially, it's the printing system built into your computer. Printers rely on the print spooler works to print. The spooler is not specific to HP. So, I will be able to offer you a few steps of standard troubleshooting on the computer. However, if the problem persists you may need to talk with Microsoft Product Support or your computer manufacturer to solve this problem of operating system. That being said, can I please have you follow the steps below to resolve this issue.

    Step 1: Check print spooler:

    1. Open your screen to Start by clicking the Windows button on the lower left side of your computer screen or by selecting the Windows key bottom left of your keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl key
    2. In the start screen, type run
    3. Click Run to launch the run dialogue box
    4. In the run box, type services.msc and click OK
    5. When the Services window opens scroll down until you see the print spooler
    6. Click Print Spooler once just to highlight
    7. If you Start in the upper left corner that indicates that your print spooler is actually stopped (not good). But we will leave that for now.
    8. If you stop or restart in the upper left corner, this indicates that your print spooler is actually started. Please click on stop to stop the service momentarily.
    9. Reduce this window which will allow us to come back here

    Step 2: Check the spooler folder:

    1. Reopen your splash screen
    2. Computertype. Click on the computer (or on This PC) when it fills so
    3. In the computer window, select your Drive C
    4. Click on Windows
    5. Click on System32
    6. Click on the reel
    7. Click PRINTERS. You can get permissions to a warning, just continue beyond that.
    8. PRINTERS of the folder must be empty. If there is no file here, they are corrupt print jobs. Right click on anything in that folder and 'delete' files.
    9. Close the PRINTERS folder

    Step 3: Start Spooler and audit dependencies:

    1 open the Services window we previously minimized

    2. click on print spooler to highlight

    3. click on Start in the upper left corner

    4. If you get an error message please take note of this

    5. If the print spooler starts successfully you will see "stop and restart" as your options at the top left

    6. then, double left click on print spooler. A print spooler properties window is now open. Click the connection tab at the top. Can you please make sure that it is set to Local System account and make sure that the check box is selected to "Allow the Service to interact with desktop".

    7. then click on the tab "dependencies". Please check which dependencies are listed. I need to know this if the problem persists when you have completed the steps I provide in this post.

    8. click on apply and OK for any changes that you have made the log tab. Close the Services window.

    Once the Print Spooler Service has started successfully, you should be able to access your printer HP Deskjet under devices and printers on your computer folder Windows 8.1. Also, you should be able to print. Can I please have you test the impression at this stage to confirm that the print spooler error has been resolved.

    Please reply to this message with the result of your troubleshooting. I can't wait to hear strings attached good luck!

  • How to fix: Error 1053 of the print spooler

    Are you an error when you try to restart the print spooler?  Do you have your printer spooler error and now, do not restart?

    You saw "error 1053: the service did not demand launch or control in a timely.?

    There is a page of Microsoft support with information about this error, which can be found here.

    According to Microsoft:

    • Question: The ServiceBase class calls the OnStop method directly from the Service command handler that is defined in the ScDispatcherLoop of the Advapi32.dll file. After 30 seconds, if the ScDispatcherLoop thread is not ready to receive a new order of service from service control manager, Windows brand services controller out service as 'time '. Therefore, you receive this error message.
    • Resolution: to resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft .NET Framework.

    This resolution works for some, and allows the service to return to the correct functionality.  However, I want to provide workaround incase this option does not work for some.

    • Open the run command by selecting it from the start menu or by pressing the Windows key (to the left of the alt) + R
    • Type services.msc and press enter
    • Scroll down and double click on print spooler
    • Select the tab log
    • Uncheck the Allow service to interact with desktop
    • Click apply
    • Select the general tab for the print spooler, and then select start

    I have the confirmation that this workaround works for some users.  The link below will take you to a thread where this information has resolved this error a user in these forums:

    Here is the video where the workaround steps, listed above, were found.  The video also gives a graphical representation of these steps for those who prefer the Visual instructions.

    I hope this helps users with error 1053 of print spooler.

  • Print Spooler error 1068: the dependency service or group could start. __

    I tried - unsuccessfully - restart the print spooler on a box of XP with SP3.  I read the previous posts for this error and this box refuses to restart the service.

    Is there an easy way to fix this without reverting to a system reset?  Can I run a repair?  If so, it will fix the problem?  I tried to run a restore of the system to a previous date and who could not do anything for me either.

    When you attempt to start the Print Spooler Service, error 1068 means "the dependency service does not exist. the dependency service or group was able to start. »

    Depending on your environment and your type of printer installed, your Print Spooler Service will have other dependent services that must run before the Print Spooler Service starts.  If the dependent services do not work, you will see an error 1068 or a similar message on the dependent services when you try to start the Print Spooler Service.

    Some Lexmark printers add their own XP services and start the Print Spooler Service, lists them as dependencies and that is why these Lexmark Services must run before the print service spooler will begin.  It may be listed as the LexBce Server.

    You now or have you ever have all installed Lexmark printers?  If Yes, do you still use Lexmark printers?

    Depending on your printing environment, if you use another type of printer, you can have other Service listed tab in the Print Spooler Service dependencies.

    Use the Applet of Services XP to check the dependencies of print spooler and options.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    services.msc

    Click OK to open the Services Applet.

    Locate the Print Spooler Service, right-click, choose Properties, and then look at the Dependencies tab.  Services listed there must run before the Print Spooler Service starts.  If they don't, you'll get an error 1068 or a similar message on the dependent services when you try to start the Print Spooler Service.

    You should always see the service remote procedure call (RPC) and maybe a few others depending on the type of printer that you have installed (Lexmark printers can add some dependency Services to your configuration of XP).  All dependent services must run before the Print Spooler Service starts.

    Dependent Services may vary according to the type of printer that you have installed.

    The RPC service is also required for many other things to work properly and is usually still running and the autostart value.

    If the RPC Service does not work and does not start automatically, you can have other problems, but start with the easy stuff first.

    Of the Services Applet, find the service remote procedure call (RPC) and if it does not, right-click and start it and set it to automatic.

    Then find and all the other print spooler dependency services listed in the Print Spooler Service Dependencies tab.  They will be lance automatically the next time you reboot your system (if that is your desire), set the startup type for these Services to automatic.

    When everything works as you want, restart and check your Services again to be sure that they start correctly and solve any addition
    questions.

    If the remote procedure call (RPC) service is not listed as a dependency for your Print Spooler Service, you must inform XP that the print spooler service depends on the RPC service.

    Click Start, run, and in the box type (including important space after the "equal" sign):

    dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS

    Click OK to assign the RPC service for the print spooler service, and then make sure that the RPC Service is running and start your Print Spooler Service.

    If you still can not understand it, react with the items that you see the tab of the Print Spooler Service dependencies.

    Don't forget to restart and check that everything works correctly after each adjustment.

    Please note that using the above command will effectively remove all the current (and perhaps old) Print Spooler dependency assigned for the Print Spooler Service and assign it only dependent on the RPC Service.  It would be 'normal '.

    The dependence of CPP Service would be typical of most facilities, or after you have uninstalled all the time some printers (Lexmark), but your printer may have a few other dependencies.  If it still does not respond, we'll fix it!

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!

  • 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.

  • Error message-""could not be achieved. " "The print spooler service is not running.
