Printer busy or error

Hi Basti here,
Try this...
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.

The "spool" is a combination of disk-space on your 'C:' drive, and software to "accept" the print-image (as fast as MS Word can create the print-image), and save the print-image to disk-space,
so that MS Word can report "print completed", so that you can use MS Word, instead of waiting until the physical printing has completed.

Then, the printer-spooling software will read from the print-image file, and send it to the printer, only as fast as the printer will accept it.

A corrupt driver? Try reinstalling the drivers from support.hp.com or check if the printer properties is set to print to store into the printer memory for later printing?

Check on the bottom right of the screen you will see a small printer icon.

Double click on the icon. That will open up the Print Queue.
Look at the print jobs. If one job shows as Spooling, click on the job and then delete it.

hi this is john

Go to control panel, printers. Set your defaults there. You probably have spooling enabled. Uncheck it and your print job will go to the printer, rather than to spooling. Spooling is like rolling the print job up on a spool until the whole thing is processed, then unwinding it to the printer.

Try clearing your spooler queue:

Delete the spool printer files loadTOCNode(2, 'resolution'); In safe mode, delete the spool printer files. To do this, start Microsoft Windows Explorer, and then delete all the files in the following folder (where C: is the drive where Windows XP is installed):

• C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Printers

i've downloaded the install disc twice, when attempting to print, i get the "busy at this time" and after troubleshooting on my own, i get a message that reads "no spooling".

My HP Deskjet F2100 All-in-One series printer worked up until today. It printed three sheets and then stopped.

check all drivers first........

if it dont work............try to print any matter........
if it work then main matter u r trying to print may be in not a printer supported format

dont forget to tell me u r problem solved or not
best regards & best of luck..
