Whenever spoolsv.exe runs, I do not see my devices nor anything does not print

Whenever the print spooler (spoolsv.exe) works I don't see my devices or whatever does not print and if I try to reinstall my printer it installs. I use Windows 7 Pro and the printer is a Samsung ML-2525. Everything worked until 2 days ago, I don't know if it has nothing to do with the latest updates. I also extracted the file of Windows 7 disc and replaced it just in case where it was corrupted and that did not solve the problem.

Hello

If you did all those who try a repair Installation which allows to keep the
programs and data backups redundant but are always a good idea.
(If you did not perform the above, then the same incorrect settings
exist and it has a chance to operate). You may need to reinstall
printer drivers and the other above methods use even after doing this.

    Hello DragonBill,

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

    Regarding your question, the most common cause of the error is an abundance of. SHD and. Files in the directory of spool SPL.  These files are created by the spooler to save data delayed a print job.  The. SPL file contains the drawing commands and the. SHD file contains information of working parameters the print job.

    To try to correct the application spoolsv.exe error, you must remove these files from the system.  To do this, perform the following steps on your Windows Vista computer:

    1. open the Control Panel, select Classic view, select Administrative Tools and then select Services .

    2. in the Services management console, find the Spooler service, right-click on it and select stop.

    3. then open the folder C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Printers .  (Here, we assume that your Windows is installed in the default C:\Windows folder)

    4. delete all the . SHD and SPL files in this folder.

    5. then open the TMP folder and delete all the old, unused files in this folder.

    6. Finally, restart the spooler from the Services management console service.

    Important note: If you are unable to delete the files in Normal Mode, then you may have to restart your computer in Mode safe to delete files.  To start your PC in safe mode, press F8 when the system restarts, and then select the Mode option safe mode from the Windows Advanced Options Menu.

    If deleting the files do not straighten out the problem, you must perform a system restore and restore your system to the times before when the error started appearing on your computer.  A.m. run the restoration of the system, open Start, all programs, Accessories, System Tools , and then select the System restore option.  On the Welcome to system restore screen, select the restore my computer to a time option earlier and select Next.  In the Select Restore Point screen, select the date that represents the restore point to which you want to restore your computer back, and then select Next.  Finally, check and then click Next again to confirm your restore point and restore of the system.  Restart your computer when you are prompted, and then press OK to close the end of System Restore screen.

    It is important that you know that application errors can also occur because of virus or spyware infections.  In fact, the Spoolsv.exe process is also a known backdoor vulnerability which can be planted on your computer for malicious purposes by an attacker.  Therefore, if you see an unknown process running on your system, you must take appropriate measures to remove them.

    Let us know if these steps solve your problem.  I hope the information is useful.

  • How to download file print spooler "spoolsv.exe" for Acer Aspire One with windows XP

    My "spoolsv.exe" file will not work.

    I see...

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window.

    I suggest you first take a look what the Print Spooler Service thinking it depends now questioning the Print Spooler Service by entering this command in the command prompt window:

    sc qc spooler

    What do you see under DEPENDENCIES?

    Do you see the rpcss Service and some unnecessary Lexmark Service?

    To configure the Print Spooler Service to depend of the rpcss Service (rpcss remote procedure call (RPC) Service =) enter the following command (including the important space after the "equal" sign):

    (Don't forget the space after the "equal" sign)

    the sc config spooler depend = rpcss

    Query the Service from the command prompt to see what it looks like now by entering:

    sc qc spooler

    The query would look like this with only the rpcss listed in the field of ADDICTIONS:

    [SC] GetServiceConfig SUCCESS

    Service_Name: Spooler
    TYPE: 110 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS (interactive)
    STARTUP TYPE: 2 AUTO_START
    ERROR_CONTROL: 1 NORMAL

    TAG                : 0
    Display_name: Print spooler
    DEPENDENCIES: rpcss
    SERVICE_START_NAME: LocalSystem

    Type "exit" to close the command prompt window.

    This seems pretty normal to me, so reboot and see how your Print Spooler Service behaves now.

  • Spoolsv.exe has 99% of the cpu when I turned off the printer after printing.

    Original title: spoolsv.

    I recently installed a new printer Lexmark Pro715.  Everything works fine, no problems with printing, but as soon as I put off the printer after printing, spoolsv.exe takes 99% CPU.  If I leave the printer in mode 'sleep', the problem is, but I do not often print, I prefer to turn off completely.  There is nothing in the print queue, everything else seems normal.  I can use the Task Manager to stop it, but this isn't a good solution in the long term.  I run MS Update and uninstalled and reinstalled the printer, with no effect.  It's driving me crazy.  I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3.

    From what I've read on the Internet about the print spooler using 99 to 100%, Norton is also sometimes involved as a contributing factor to a runaway print spooler for some people (where my request).

    IIRC, people would set their Norton to start a scan and when it was made, the print spooler has run amok at 100%:

    "Because I have Norton Antivirus, do a system scan every Friday night that I happened to see that the value SPOOLSV. EXE is using almost 100% of the CPU of the morning Saturday. It's the only time that it happens, so I simply stop the process in the SERVICES window, and life is good. I don't know why Norton Antivirus it triggers during the scanning process that I couldn't find anything on the Symantec relating to this site. »

    If the problem resurfaces surface, using abduction special tools on their website, you can uninstall your Norton and view the appearance of things without him - you can always reinstall again once, right?

    I disagree with Norton in general for its CPU and memory hogging and known interference with other XP processes (such as the restoration of the system), so I'd keep which in mind if the problem returns.

    A few years ago, I used to like Norton correct, but will never go back or recommend it.  Microsoft Security Essentials with it's lower overhead and footprint and some regular on the analyses at the request of the MBAM and SAS should hold your own system based on your surfing habits.  Your system will reward you with an improvement in the overall performance of the system as well.

    I can tell you that no single AV tool seems to know everyting so it is safe to use several respectable scanning tools.  Norton certainly doesn't know everything.

    Usually when you stop and restart Windows, Firefox is not running and can be started normally.

    Firefox is set to start automatically with Windows? Microsoft has a utility to investigate what is set to happen at startup: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

    It is possible that something is triggering a process in your default browser and it is the hanging of Firefox. You can try to change your default browser to IE (IE can offer to do when you start) before the shutdown and restart Windows to see if it makes a difference.
