  Hi Ibilofsky,

  Clear printer spooler files and activate the spooler service and check if the number fixed.

  Step 1

  (a) press the Windows key + R, type "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks) in the Open box and click OK.

  (b) double click on "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.

  (c) click on stop, and then click OK.

  (d) press the Windows key + R, type %WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers in the open window and delete all the files in this folder.

  Step 2

  You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

  (a) open services and right - click the Print Spooler service, and then click Properties.

  (b) under the general tab, next to startup type, make sure that automatic is selected.

  (c) if the service does not, under Service status, click Start, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  Check the status of the issue.

  It worked perfectly.

  All installed printers came instantly. No need to reinstall the printer etc drivers they worked already well before the show. It was a spooler problem.

  Thank you.

• Active Directory domain services is currently unavailable; Cannot find printer; Acer Extensa 5620 laptop, Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2; Automatic update

  I can't print on network printers.  I did what was suggested previously and deleted the printers and tried to reinstall, but apparently Windows does not find the printer. I get the famous error "The Active Domain Services Directory is currently unavailable".  It started a few days after an automatic update.  My network is just a peer-to-peer network - no Exchange.

  Although I do not understand why this error, which is apparently a problem been known for months, is not a statement of knowledge on the repair, or even more revolutionary base, has not been corrected, I hope you can give me instructions on how to repair concrete.

• Print Spooler service is not running, or active directory domain services is currently unavailable.

  Original title: my printers on WIndows 7 seemed to have disappeared...

  Printers are not listed for printing set up in Word, Notepad, Adobe, etc., when I try to add a printer, he said the local print spooler service is not running, or domain services active directory is currently unavailable.  Printers are shown on the list of devices, and when I run the troubleshooting it says that the print spooler problem is solved.  but I still can't print.  The question is on a laptop Samsung bought in store Microsoft to OakBrook, Illinois.

  It started on 8 July and I was not able to resolve since.  In reviewing the restore points, I don't see any problems, and printers are recorded in the other PC, I plugged in.

  Thanks for your help.

  Imran,

  Thank you very much for the reply onse.  I appreciate it.  I tried your suggestions and everything in the fix he said that the print spooler has been repaired, it would not print.  I ran the scanner and came without any problem.

  I did a restore of the system to a point prior to the issuance and the printers are busy, apparently something in an update has a problem.  I'll look next week and see what happens.

  Thanks again for your reply and your suggestions, I appreciate it.

• Is there a way to search through pdf you are looking for a few words "proximity" to the other?

  I started this question in a forum of Adobe Reader, but am reposting here.

  In a single pdf, I try to find places where both words appear near each other. The document is structured with Adobe Framemaker manual. The words are 'context' and 'element' (I'm trying to find out what "context" means in EDD in Framemaker).

  Using the advanced search on Acrobat Professional XI, but the answer is the same in Acrobat Reader of XI, i.e. no results.

  Put a comma between the words unchanged results.

  One of those choices don't change the results:

  -Matches one of the words

  -Match the Exact Word or phrase

  By clicking on the Options show more adds a nearby area, but I was unable to make the selectable zone (it is grayed out).

  Although I am only interested in the results of a pdf, I was told to select an entire folder. When I choose a directory, additional options appear, but the close button is still not selectable.

  What turns the button on proximity?

  Is it possible to change default Acrobat so that the more Options is always on?

  Thanks in advance.

  Proximity will become available if you use an index (Tools > Document Processing > full text with catalog index), you can create with Acrobat Pro for only this document if you place it in a folder itself. You can also select "match all words" or whatever the exact wording is in the Advanced Search Panel.
