HELP! how do i fix the print spooler service?

  • i have a HUGE project due tomorrow but i can't print anything! whenever i try to it says that i have to add a printer and when i go to do it, it says "Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running." i went to administrative tools & made sure it's on automatic & clicked start. On the thing it says it's started but when i go to print, it does the same thing over again. I also went to run & CMD & then typed net spooler service or something like that. PLEASE HELP ME! This is a really big part of my grade..

  • Answer:

    Reboot the computer & try again. If it still doesn't work, save the project to a USB drive & find a place to print it.

Print spooler Go to Start / Run and type in "services.msc" without quotation marks, then press Enter or click OK. In the window that opens (Services) look for "Print Spooler" on the right Right-click "Print Spooler" and select "Properties". Click on the "Recovery" tab and change all 3 drop-down boxes to "Restart The Service". Make sure the 2 text boxes underneath say "1" in them. Click Ok until you are back at the Services window, close it and you're good to go. Go back into the properties of the "Print Spooler" tab and be sure to click Start to restart the Print Spooler service and it will restart the service immediately. The Print spooler depends on the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service. Is this service disabled? Go to services.msc look for RPC. Check state: Automatic
