SOURCE: i'am geting an error message

if you have the disk that came with the printer you need to uninstall it and reinstall it , or check your cables from the back of the printer to the tower and make sure they are connected , see if that helps solve your problem most likely you will have to uninstall and reinstall the printer

SOURCE: My computer restart automatically.

Hi Joy;
is this a new computer unit? when did it start occurring? is it right after you install a software or new hardware? if software, try to uninstall it and if its hardware, try to remove the hardware but before that, you may want to boot to safe mode, ( tap F8 when you pc starts to boot) just to check of some software is causing this because when you boot on safe mode, only basic drivers are being loaded, please try this so that we can isolate the problem
thanks

SOURCE: Printer spooler problem

Hi there.
I'm assuming its a Vista machine you are getting the error message on.
Follow these simple steps >>>>
1. Go to Programs and Features in Control panel > click Turn Windows features on or off
2. click + sign of Print services
3. Select LPD and LPR. You should remove Internet Printing Client. > restart your PC to ensure there is no error of spooler service.

4. Add your printer driver again.

Hope this works for you and good luck

Hi i have intel D102GGc2 Mother bord with pantium D processor , ATI radeon Xpress200, pci Xpress, LGA775 socket previously running Xp Sp3, now windows 7 wold it work properly wht additional requier to add...

You should have downloaded drivers for your graphics, audio, LAN,WLAN and if required printer for Win 7 before you upgraded too Win 7. If you can, re-install XP+Sp3 and do the downloads that would be the best idea. An alternative would be to use a different computer and download the drivers. For reference, download all drivers for the new OS before you remove the old OS. Good luck.

When printing from excel 2007, I am getting a printer spooler error "Spooler subsystem App has encountered an error and needs to close" but only when i print on my HP officejet j6480....then...

l would start with re-installing the printer drivers for that printer. If that doesn't work, you may have to actually delete the printer, re-start the computer. let the OS re-discover the printer, and re-install the drivers.

Spooler sub system app??

The issue occurs because of a corrupted printer driver installed and because of the Vista OS that keeps updating.

-Open up c:\windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS

-Delete the contents of the directory (not the directory).

-Restart the print spool service. (service.msc)

HP print spooler problem and error 1068. Want my printer back!!!

There are several ways to resolve printer spooler error, probably because there are many variations of this error. The error caused by faulty software can be resolved by deleting all the information found in the directory. Thereafter, navigate to the Control Panel, click on Administrative Tools and then services icon. Find the service labeled Print Spooler, highlight it and restart the process. If that doesn’t work, the program might be corrupted. Click on start, then Run. Search for the document labeled services.msc, and this will trigger the opening of another window. On this window, scroll down and click “Print Spooler”. Check its setting and turn on automatic mode. Click Okay, and restart the machine. If you’re lucky, this might be all you have to do. Still doesn’t work? Navigate to the Add/Remove Programs screen of the Control Panel. Find the all the software responsible for making the printer run including the drivers, and uninstall them. Be sure to be thorough about it, or the problem may not be solved. Download the latest copy of your printer’s software from the manufacturer and reinstall it. get more information for printer spooler error .Hope this helps you.
