How do we turn on the print spooler service?

My local print spooler print service is not running. What should I do?

  • I'm using HP Laser Jet 1020 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS. I installed the printer driver and it worked properly until suddenly I can't even open the print menu on any software like Microsoft Office or Adobe Acrobat 9. A window popped out asking me to add a printer as if I haven't had any connected to the computer. When I click add printer it says "Windows can't open Add Printer. The local print spooler service is not runnng. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine". I restarted the machine but I still can't use the printer. I don't know what is a spooler and how to restart it. Is there a problem with the printer or Windows software? What should I do?
