I receive this error code "print spooler service not running" when I try to print from my HP Laptop. I am running Windows XP SP 3. It is a wireless connection. I was able to print until a few days ago. My printer is an HP C4380 all in one. Thanks for any help you can give me. (I have already ran services and stopped and restarted the print spooler.
Spooler depends on the RPC service being running. But you really need to get into event viewer and check for anything related to either RPC or Print Spooler. If you're trying to print to a network printer you could have firewall issues either within Windows or your router. Think about what changed on your system around the time this problem began.
