Printer Spooler Service Not Running
Dec 20, 2009
I am not sure if this problem is due to a user account issue or a printer issue.
I cannot add a printer and all my printers from Windows XP were wiped out. I use this machine for business and I did not want to do a file and settings transfer so I updated to Vista and then updated to Windows 7 from there.
I had a bunch of printers installed including a couple of wierd ones such as a FileCabinet Printer, Adobe Acrobat Writer, CutePDF writer, etc. I don't know if these strange printer drivers affected the upgrade but now I cannot add a printer. I tried services.msc and attempted to start the spooler service, it usually is already running and its on automatic. Its not that, its something deeper than that. I also right clicked the spooler service and made sure the check box was checked for allowing the user to interact with it.
I found a Microsoft post for XP: You cannot add a printer and you receive printer spooler error messages in Windows XP

New computer build with fresh install of Windows 7 (64) on formatted hard drive. I have no printers installed and am allowing window to download all updates. I can't install any printers as windows print spooler service is not loaded. If I go to services, and attempt to start the service, I get an error message that says "Windows could not start the Print spooler service on Local Computer" "Error 1053; The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion".
All dependant services are loaded and running. I have restored the computer to an earlier point and was able to determine the spooler services are running. I continue to allow updates and at some point the service becomes corrupted again. I check in services.msc after every restart. I can't seem to figure out what's corrupting the spooler service. I've even gone as far as to re-install a system image created just after all motherboard divers where installed. The service appears to be working fine and during the process of doing Windows updates,after a random restart, it's not working again. Once it stops working it never comes back until I do a system restore.

I use Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. My problem is: Whenever I try to print something (word, pdf, or any other file); printer spooler stops working and when I check the Devices and Printers all the printer drivers seem to be disappeared. I checked the Print Spooler" in the Services tool; and set the "Recovery after subsequent failures" option to Restart the Serviceā. Therefore all the printer drives coma back after 1 minute. However the spooler stops immediately again when the uncompleted printing job starts; hence I can not print anything more than a page. Earlier in this forum, someone posted that Microsoft issued a hotfix for this problem ( hotfix 2388142) which can be downloaded from article: [URL]. I downloaded this hotfix and tried to install, however it gives an error message of: The update is not applicable to your computer and quits installation. I did uninstall and reinstall all the printer drives, but this did not help either.

I am using a Windows 7 Home premium (x64) laptop and a Canon MP560 printer. Anytime I try to print from my laptop to my printer (through a wireless network), an error pops up which reads: "Windows cannot connect to the printer. The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine." Sometimes, the printer disappears from my computer (I don't delete it, it just vanishes) and when I try to add printer I get the message: "Windows can't open add printer. The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine."I know it is not a problem with the printer as my husband's laptop is printing fine. Also, if I right click on the printer and try to print a test page from my computer it prints perfectly fine. However, I am unable to print anything from MS Word or the internet.
I have tried:
- System restore, twice.
- Manually starting the print spooler (in Services) but it stops running as soon as I send anything to print.
- Deleting and reinstalling the drivers for the printer.
Here are the event properties if this is helpful:
Faulting application name: spoolsv.exe, version: 6.1.7600.16661, time stamp: 0x4c6f61fe
Faulting module name: CNMN6PPM.DLL, version: 2.6.0.150, time stamp: 0x49d5bfef
Exception code: 0xc0000005
Fault offset: 0x00000000000256b2

I have done everything that windows has asked and still can't get it to work. I have a windows 7 printer but since I can't keep the spooler running it won't let me install it. I have tried manually and using the fix it program but all that does is restart the service and it will stop on it's own.

I was having trouble with the printer spooler stopping, finally got it fixed after 4 stressful days, went to Administrative tools, print management and deleted the print jobs that were waiting to be printed and it worked. you may have to go to services and restart your printer spooler first before it will recognize your printer.

I recent purchased a a new computer with Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and a Canon MG5220 Inkjet All-in-One printer. I have setup printer to be wireless (no problems). When I run the setup disk to start downloading the drivers, etc. I get the message that the Print Spooler Service stopped and to restart the computer. I have done that several times. Every time have to restart the spooler in the print spooler properties only to have have it stop a few seconds later when I try to re-run the setup disk. I have deleted the files in the printer and driver files under windowssystem32spoolerdrivers. There is a file called color in the driver filer. I have cleaned up the registry. I have tried the Window Fix.

I did a Windows 7 Repair Install on my HP (G62) laptop, 64 BIT, and installed an HP Deskjet F4180 printer,it went on virtual USB001. Recently, when printing from various PDF files, I cannot print multiple pages of a document. It prints a single random page of the document, then gives printer error, and moves the document into queue, where I have to cancel the job. It seems to work OK in other application documents however. And it even seemed to work for an older small PDF file.Im running the laptop on wireless, with router configured to automatic DHCP, shows 2 devices, the laptop and the wired Desktop, and seems to be running fine. The network is set to Public.I uninstalled all HP programs, drivers, and reinstalled the latest full printer driver & software for 64 BIT from HP website. I stopped & restarted the print spooler service.I tried different USB ports, cables, connection steps.I tried HP scan utilities for fixing, and tried Windows Troubleshoot (which temporarily fixes issue for a single print job)Thru printers & devices all printer & USB drivers show up, are updated, & working.In Printer Properties, I tried printing directly to printer setting, but then NOTHING prints at all.As far as I remember the printer worked properly on my desktop, Windows 7, 32 BIT version.I also reinstalled ADOBE PDF, in case its the applications fault SFC /scannow doesnt find a problem Ive done CCleaner, DiskCleanup, CheckDisk, also no Virus, Malware detected thru the AV applications The Event viewer shows ID #602 :The print spooler failed to reopen an existing printer connection because it could not read the configuration information from the registrykeyS-1-5-21-3851181124-22741... Deskjet D4100 series. This can occur if the key name or values are malformed or missing.MS -Windows Print Service, Spooler Operation failed.I looked at the registry keys, but I dont know if they are in fact incorrect, or what to look for, what they should be ?HP support says its most likely a Windows & corrupted file or spooler service & registry (which I doubt because this is a new Repai Install !) Also, with spooler bypass it doesnt print.

Whenever I try to run Windows Update it comes up with a dialogue box that says "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer." I believe my computer is Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit. I've tried a lot of the fixes that have been posted, but none of them worked. I tried running an SFC (I think that's what it was called, sorry I'm not very computer smart), rebooting my computer, and doing a system restoreAlso, Windows Update doesn't show in services.msc. I saw one post that said something to do with Windows Security Center can make Windows Update do this, but my Windows Security Center doesn't work either. Whenever I try to turn it on, it says "The Windows Security Center service can't be started." Windows Security Center is also not in services.msc for me. I know that Windows Update worked 2 months ago, but that was the last time I tried using it

I'm having some problems with event viewer. When I go to open it, it gives me the "Event Log service is unavailable. Verify that the service is running." error. I've tried going through the steps Microsoft gives for creating new log files if yours are corrupted. Problem is, the .evt file doesn't exist.
I've researched the problem a lot and I do have UxStyle Core installed which is patching the files necessary to install third party themes, and I have heard that this may cause some issues with the event log, but everyone I saw undo any patching and even rollback updates, go to previous restore points, etc.

I have a two month old, custom built desktop running Windows 7 and last Friday, without any seeming provocation, my wireless network disappeared. My computer is completely unable to see any wireless networks. My router is working fine (I'm using it to post this from another computer), and my wireless adapter works perfectly (again, using it to post this). When I ask Windows to diagnose the problem, it tells me that the Windows wireless service is not running.After much research and several sfc scans, I can safely say that it appears to be a registry issue. System restores, both by Windows and from backups have failed to correct the errors. I've seen several possible solutions like:Run CMD as Admin... netsh winsock reset catalog netsh int ipv4 reset "c:eset.log" netsh int ipv6 reset "c:eset.log"andWindows wireless service is not running on this computer - Microsoft AnswersandGo into the registry with regedit for this:[CODE]

When I try to run the event log I get the following Event Log service is unavailable. Verify that the service is running. In the services panel it is listed as running. However it is not. I have tried system restore but same issue. I don't know if it could be turned off in the registry or just what would cause this. I think the registry was modified and for some reason I have noticed certain registry entries don't always get restored if you use system restore.

I inquired about this on Technet forums, I got a great functioning and undocumented answer. The Office Software Protection Platform service starts every time you start an Office aplication. It usually doesn't exit after you exit an Office app. If you are a process count control freak, you will be elated by this official tweak.

I'm working on a custom pc that my brother built for me. The specs are in my signature. I recently upgraded from 32 bit to 64 bit Windows 7 home premium. I did a drive reformat also. Initially, everything was fine. But for some reason all of a sudden, I have no sound, my plugged in speakers are not detected at all and the audio service is not running. Everything else is fine. I assumed it was as a result of an update, so I did a system restore. I guess my restore points didn't go back far enough. No change.
According to my motherboard specs, I have the realtek ALC888 onboard audio. So, I thought I'd just be able to install the latest hd audio driver for my os from realtek's site. I tried several times (10+). It prompts me to restart and when I do, it says that the device driver did not install correctly and it defaults to the microsoft one every time. In device manager, I have a yellow triangle next to one of the 2 "high definition audio controllers" with a code 10 error (device cannot start).
Under sound, video and game controllers, I have "High definition audio device": microsoft, driver version 6.1.7601.17514 11/19/2010. I tried manually installing the driver from the zip file by directing the update utility to it's extracted location. It always says that my driver is up to date. I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to be updating one of the hd audio controllers or the hd audio device or both (I've tried both), so I suppose i could be doing it wrong.
I've tried uninstalling the hd audio controllers and the hd audio devices and rebooting, the same thing happens. I've tried a repair install from the disc. No change. The only thing I haven't tried is reformatting my hard drive and doing yet another clean install. I really don't want to have to do this again because re-downloading my programs and music/docs/pictures is a chore. Completely reinstalled windows and still don't have any sound...I'm completely at a loss.
