Hi There,

If your print spooler service is not running, then follow the below steps to get it working :

Step 1 :
* Start > run > services.msc > ok
* Select the service name called print spooler from the list.
* Check the status on the print spooler service, if it is stopped, then right click and select start or restart.
* Then the spooler service will start working....

Step 2 : ( NOTE :USE THIS STEP ONLY WHEN YOUR STEP 1 DOESN'T WORK )
In this case, we assume that the print spooler service is gone bad and we would have to recreate the spooler service.

* Start > run > cmd > ok
* Type: sc delete spoolsv (this will delete the corrupted spooler for us to create a new print spooler)
* Reboot the system and after rebooting the computer back.

* Start > run > cmd > ok
* Type: sc create spoolsv (this will create a new print spooler service)
* Reboot the system and this time the print spooler service is a new and fresh spooler and it should work normal and perfectly.

Enjoy printing !!

SOURCE: SPOOLER SERVICE IS NOT RUNNING

If you are receiving SPOOL.SVC or PRINT SPOOLER ERRORS when trying to uninstall/reinstall your printer, or when trying to print a document or access the printer properties, please follow the steps below.

The following are examples of some of the messages you may be receiving:

Spool.svc is not running. Make the service active and try again.
Printer Properties cannot be displayed. The print spooler service is not running.
Printer cannot be removed. The print spooler service is not running.
Windows cannot print due to a problem with the current printer setup.
(When clicking Add Printer) Operation could not be completed.

NOTE: Only these types of errors warrant the troubleshooting steps clearly defined below.

Resolution:

SPOOL.SVC is an operating system function which carries files through the operating system for printing. It must be STARTED (active) to be able to print or access any printer's functions. This file usually starts automatically with Windows, however operating system issues may cause it to become stopped. You cannot uninstall or reinstall a driver while this service is stopped.

Please try the following to start the service again:

1) Click on START, right click MY COMPUTER, left click MANAGE.
2) On the left column, double-left click SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS, then click SERVICES.
3) Locate and highlight the PRINT SPOOLER on the list of Services.
4) Click START THE SERVICE.

If errors occur and the service cannot be started, there is another issue within the operating system itself.

SOURCE: Operation could not be completed.

To fix the error message, in Windows XP, click on start, control panel, then administrative services. From here double click services and scroll down to print spooler and double click on the icon. Change startup type to automatic and click start below that and you are rolling. If the problem occurs repeatedly contact the manufacturer of your printer for best fixes.

Download the HP Diagnostic tool to correct the problem.

  1. Download the "HP print diagnostic utility" click here to download.
  2. After downloading the tool, (print diagnostic utility) save it to your computer.
  3. Run the tool, then select the printer that your using, then start scanning the problems on the printer.
  4. It will tells you if theirs a problem with the connectivity, ports, print jobs stuck in queue, services and etc.,
  5. If the problem appears, theirs should be a "Fix" button available or "uninstall the driver".
  6. If theirs a fix button, click on it to fix the issue, now if its telling you to uninstall the driver. Please do it.
  7. Restart the computer.
  8. Re install the driver of your printer.

It should be working fine now, but if you are still having issues with it. contact HP's printers department 1-800-474-6836.

Printers vanished and can't add printer

Your shell extensions have a software conflict. The offending piece of software will have to be determined and removed, or at least stopped, before re-booting the computer. You may be able to repair the problem using the System Restore option.
