• Epson Workforce 345 while a printer does not print. message that the local print spooler service is not available and I need to restart the spooler.

  All of a sudden my Epson Workforce 345 all-in-one printer will not print.  I get a message that the local print spooler service is not available and I need to restart the spooler.  What does that mean?

  Hello

  Check with the manufacturer of the printer for updated drivers, support and Forums for
  known issues.

  Check with Epson support, their documentatiion online and drivers. As it's Epson OEM
  responsible for the proper functioning of the printer and their drivers provided.

  If there is that no Windows 7 drivers try the Vista drivers if those that exist.

• Printer Spooler service will not restart error 1068

  I have XP and I cannot get my printer spooler service to restart, get error 1068, is there something I can do

  I have XP and I cannot get my printer spooler service to restart, get error 1068, is there something I can do

  This error is probably due to the fact that you had (have) a Lexmark (or Dell Lexmark brand) printer installed.  Some Lexmark printers install a service and make the print service spooler depend on the Lexmark service.  So, if something happens to the Lexmark service, the print spooler cannot start.

  The first thing to do is to ensure that the print spooler dependencies are correct.  Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK) and type the following line and press ENTER.  Note that there is no space before the = but there is a space after it.

  dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS

  Now clean the printing system: However before cleaning things up, on general principles, 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

  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
  del/q '% windir%\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.* '.
  net start spooler
  output

  B. clean the old printer drivers and install the latest drivers by using the directions in One Article.  Do not omit step 4.

• When I try to "Optimize the readers", I get "Value is not available" on a SSD

  I am running Windows 8 Pro. I can't optimize my SSD. I read online that I should be able to click on "Optimize" and who would send my SSD TRIM data in order to improve its performance. But currently "Analyze" and "Optimize" buttons are grayed out for my solid state drive. The current state also show "optimization is not available.

  Thanks for any help.

  Same thing here.

  Went to Windows "Optimizing disks", click on optimizing, but he said "Value is not available" and then the button "Optimize" changed in gray.

  When I manually ran the automatic Maintenance (Control Panel > Action Center > maintenance > start maintenance), I noticed a lot of reading and writing for the SSD during the maintenance process.  So I opened 'Optimize the readers' and he has done exactly as she was running the Disk Defragmenter (despite it, grateful that he was a Solid State Drive).  I looked in the resource monitor to see what that wrote for the SSD and I don't remember the exact name of the process, but it was something with defrag in the name.  I had already done Windows Experience Index before that, then Windows knew that an SSD has been installed and it showed as such under 'média Type', so I don't know why it was running a disk defragmentation.

  I just ran the automatic Maintenance again, but this time it doesn't seem to be running defrag as it did the first time I ran it.  But, it continues to display "Value is not available" to optimize disks.

  Then, when he says "Value is not available", which means exactly?  DisableDeleteNotify showing 0 (indicating the PAD is on), but is windows sends always TRIM wants the SSD or not?

• When I try to open windows store addresses; Windows store is not available on windows to make the workspace

  whenever I try to use the store windows (open) I get this message: "windows store is not available on windows to make working space.

  what I have to do to get it working as I want to be able to download applications

  I have exactly the same problem. The store was working but now I get the message "Windows store is not available on windows to workspace" even if it is installed on a laptop. I checked the system information and everything seems fine (windows 8 pro active) but I have recently changed my HDD and I wonder if this has something to do with it. I cloned the old drive to a new one and I continued from there - do not know how this would happen as I thought it's only the Enterprise version that is able to create windows to readers.

  Tried the method in the post above and resets some security settings, it has not cured the problem. I think that the resolution of the screen is a bit a red herring, as I have already used the store on this machine.

• HP deskjet 3050 j610: when I try to scan from my printer it will not connect

  When I try to scan from my printer I get a message "Cannot find HP deskjet 3050 j610. But I can print from it and get data as ink tank printer. It started abruptly today. It worked OK until a few days ago.  The printer is connected by a USB cable. I tried the driver update and 'repair' menus via HP scanning problems without success.  If I press scan on the printer button it says "scan error. try to scan from computer', but that's what I usually do using the calculation icon in the menu START.

  I solved the problem. The basic steps were (1) using the HP links to update my driver printer and research to find errors in the scanning program. (2) restart my computer and printer. After the first part, I didn't see any listed results. Normally I would have restarted the printer and the computer, but is afraid of losing my sites and the investigation, so I kept looking for the various comments.  I found a reference to this site in one of the post near mine for a #7520 device but cannot return immediately to give the author of the post. I think I sent him a response.

  http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c00040499.

  This site gives lots of tips for different situations and devices. I followed the advice that it applied to my computer and printer who ended with step 2 (I use a USB connection) and the scanner was working again.

• When you try to add a printer, get error Printer Spooler service is not running

  I lost my printer and when I click Add printer, I get the message of this operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running. Then, the computer detects the new hardware and says the RPC server is unavailable can help?

  Check the status of 'Print spooler' & RPC (remote Procedure Call) services in the services window. You can check the link below to change the status of the services.

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc736564%28WS.10%29.aspx

  After the services start, delete all previous printers. Uninstall the drivers and then try to reinstall the printer again.

  If the problem still persists to the print spooler, you can import the registry across the entry below machine & merge the machine to issue:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler

  Also check out the link for your RPC unavailable problem:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/242079

  Now, try to restart the print spooler new service & try to install the printer.

  Note: instead of copying files from another machine you can also run the SFC/scannow.

• Why do I get access denied error when I try to connect to the printer?

• "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
