Printer Spooler In Need Of Serious Help!

I really need some help i tried everything i could and i still can not get my printer spooler to work i even tried the steps listed in the board below and when i went to modify it says value not set and i tried the whole steps and it still didnt work i went to view local services and tried to start my printer spooler again and it still came up with an error message. PLEASE HELP!!!! IM DESPERATE OF NEEDING HELP!!!! i have had this laptop for 5 months and my printer spooler decides to quit and screw up on me

Thanks for your help.
The bottom line is I want my Mac to "Just Work".
I am a reformed windows user...
Specifically, I need a few things done here:
I am not heart broken about Time Machine not working. My music and such are all on my external.
I wanted to simply move all of my data to another external. Reformat my external to Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Move my data and my friends back to my external and finally reformat his drive hopefully avoiding all sorts of these problems after the reformat.
I have copied all of my data to the other drive. It was not easy but it happened. I did manage to reformat my external in Mac OS Extended (Journaled). I am now struggling to copy all of this data back to my drive. As I copy files back to my Mac formated drive the computer states "the drive is in use" or an obscure "file is in use". Obscure as in it is say a music file and no music is running.
I was hoping after the reformat I could just dump the data back to my external overnight (its 500GB) and reformat the other drive.
During all of this my computer showed that my computer (which is listed and Marc McLellan's Computer) was in use and now it is running my computer (2) (Marc McLellan's Computer (2)). No idea how to fix. I am thinking that this is a problem. This is the only way the system could gather that some of these copied files are in use. This is the problem to fix. How to I revert back to the original?
Again I appreciate your help,
I hope this makes sense...

Printer Spooler Stopped Working

I have a HP Pavillion dv6-1245dx and the printer spooler has stopped working and I can't print. I tried to restart but no luck. It says it has started but it really hasn't. Any suggestions???

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? Do you have a 32 bit or 64 bit version? How is the printer connected - USB, wired LAN, Wireless LAN, bluetooth?

I have an HP2840 running with Windows 7. Everytime I fax from the computer the print spooler STOPS.
I have to start, then stop, then start again everytime before any of my printers are available.
Is there a setting I need to change?

it sounds to me that the print spooler is crashing. Typically if the spooler crashes, when restarted it will try and process the job in the queue. If it crashes again, the job will be purged from the queue.

Printer spooler will not stay running

I work in a K-8 district that services around 350 computers. We also service a number of printers of which we run through print management in windows server 2008 R2. However, we've recently had a problem with the print spooler stopping and remaining stopped
until being manually started again, only to have the spooler stop shortly after. Specifically, we've only had this problem in one computer lab that has an HP CP3505 printer and a RICOH SP4100. We have tried a number of problem solving techniques, including
(but not limited to):
-Clearing the C:\windows\system32\spool\printers & C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers
-setting the recovery steps to "restart the service" in the service properties
-reinstalling the latest PCL5 drivers for the printers on our server
-diving into regedit to make sure everything checks out over there
-restarting the printer
-installing latest windows updates
-taking ownership of the spoolsv.exe (we gave both specific users and everyone access, no avail)
-reimaging the computers (without sysprep, this is next in our list of things to try)
We cannot shake this problem, and the lab is heavily used. Anyone have any clue to what may be going on?

This happened when i tried to remove unneeded drivers:
Failed to remove driver Brother HL-5170DN. The specified printer driver is currently in use.
Failed to remove package prnbr001.inf. Driver package is in use.
the Brother printer is not even in use on the computer, just an HP 3505 and the Ricoh. Tried freezing the spooler service and that locked me out of even getting to that menu. i'd submit a picture but apparent my account isnt "verified" (which it should be,
i clicked the link in the email they sent me)

Acrobat 9 won't install - trying to stop Print Spooler

I've tried to install Acrobat 9 on my computer several times, but it gets hung up. The installation box says that its status is "Stopping Services - Service to stop: Print Spooler". Any thoughts on how to fix this?

The Acrobat 9 download won't accept my CS4 license. What I ended up doing was jumping through several hoops to get this to work:
Edited Acrobat out of the registry - no change, still pauses during installation
Uninstall CS4 entirely
Run Adobe CS4 Clean Script - see http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html
Run Microsoft Installer Cleanup program
Reinstall CS4 including Acrobat
Neither the registry edit, Clean Script or Microsoft installer cleanup fix the problem on their own. Yet, when I did them all in succession, Acrobat installed successfully - finally! I hope this information spares someone else from investing too many hours to fix their installation problem.

Upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.1 caused my Canon Pixma ip8500 printer to stop working. Canon no longer supporting this printer. Any solutions?

Upgrade to Yosemite 10.10.1 caused my Canon Pixma ip8500 printer to stop working. Canon no longer supporting this printer. Any solutions?

Hi
try this
resolve my printer problem.
with Yosemite, Apple have upgraded CUPS to 2.0, and CUPS work different. So you need to change one think in configuration.
open terminal, and write the following commands:
sudo sh -c 'echo "Sandboxing Relaxed" >> /etc/cups/cups-files.conf'
you asked for the password for superuser
sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd
after this check in print queue if the printer is ready and not in pause mode.
The printer now should work, if the printer only print in B&W you need to change the configuration in CUPS web interface.
try http://localhost:631/ ; if you receive a error telling the web interface is disabled, type in terminal services the following
cupsctl WebInterface=yes
after this try again http://localhost:631/
after this choose in the web page "Adding Printers and Classes", bellow the CUPS for Administrators title.
in the new page, choose manage printers; after this choose your printer.
in the page of printer choose from the second combobox the option "set default options";
in the option page, change the color mode from monochrome to color, and save hitting the button "set default option", you be asked for a user and password with admin privileges.
After this your print is ok.

Printer spooler keeps stopping

Windows 8.1. I have checked the printer spooler service it is configured correctly as far as I can tell. Set to start automatically, restart on the first and second failure. The dependencies look ok.
I have tried to remove unwanted printers from 'Devices and printers'. They keep coming back after a reboot. Some of these are shared printers that no longer exist on the host machine. They all remove except one which stubbornly refuses to budge.
I try installing my new cannon printer, it starts the installation but then fails because the printer spooler service is not running.
- Processing cannot be continued because the Windows Print Spooler service has been stopped. Start the Print Spooler service and then try again.
I restart the printer spooler service and try again. Same problem.
I restart the machine. Same problem.
I have no idea why it keeps stopping. How do you get the service to log errors.
I have tried to use the Troubleshooting application. It states 'the printer spooler service is not running' and restarts it. One tries to reinstall the printer, same problem.
How does one fix this problem? Is there a tool to remove all printers and start again?

Every time I reboot I get the same printers in 'devices and printers' even though I have removed them. Also there is one printer that will not be removed. If I try and then hover the mouse cursor over the printer icon, the tool tips displayed are
"Remove failed"
"Driver does not exist"
Ok. I don't give a stuff about the missing driver, I just want to remove it. Why does a missing driver prevent me from removing a printer. I though that if the driver was missing it would indicate that the printer is inoperable and make removing it
even easier.
How on earth does one get around this embargo. How does one get rid of dud printers from the control panel applet?
I am sure that these remnant printers are causing the print spooler service to keep crashing.

Windows 8 stops printer spooler in vista pc

My AIO HP F4280 printer spooler service in my Windows Vista PC stops when I send a print job via wireless from my Windows 8 laptop PC. I downloaded and installed the Windows 8 software for the F4280 and if the printer is connected to the Windows 8 PC, prints from the Windows 8 PC, as well as prints sent via wireless from the Vista PC, are done with no issues.
Going back to wireless from the Win 8 to the Vista continues to stop the spooler service.
All known updates for both PCs have been installed.

I need help with a print spooler error message

Out of the blue I lost my printer connection. When I look at my printer menu there is no printer listed. When I try to add or install a printer, I get some odd message about a printer spooler is not running. Restart the machine. I've tried unhooking the printer, rebooting, unhooking from the power source. I even went into some area as an administrator and found the print spool task and when I clicked on the start button there was no action.

This is a MS Windows issue. Try this:
Right click on My Computer
Select Manage
Double click on Services and Application
Double click on Services
Scroll down to Print Spooler and double click on it
Click on Dependencies tab
Check what dependencies the print spooler has, if any you may need to click on + on those dependencies to more dependencies
Go back to the Services list
On each of the spooler dependencies, double click on it
Make sure it is set to Automatic in the Startup Type drop down menu
Now click on Start to start the service
Click OK
Now try and print.

Deskjet d1460, spools paper half way for printing then stops

I have a HP deskjet d1460, i recently changed the ink cartridges and now when you send a print job, it starts to spool the paper then stops once the paper is in ready to print and the power light flashes as if to say paper jam. I have checked and there is no paper jam. When you press the power button it resets the printer spools the paper all the way through the printer and that is it but does not print! Please help. The printer is connected via a USB port. On the print job list on the computer the status just says spooling.
Thanks ABi x

Hi - Try following the steps in this document. Sometimes the feed rollers can accumulate dust/paper dust, causing it to have problems when trying to feed the paper through. Give it a shot and see if it resolves the problem.
Hope that helps.

Msg print spooler sub system app has encountered a problem and needs to close. how to fix.

don' know how to correct print spooler problem. Using XP Pro & HP Officejet Pro All in One L7590. Nothing new on computer. Will not print standard data either, but did print the test print from HP. Details are "sz App name: spoolsv.exe, sz App ver: 5.1.2600.6024; sz Mod name: hpz3r58a.dll, sz Mod Ver: 61.63.263.23, offset: 00104a8d. Have also had msg "need to install printer, but all printers on control panel are "ready". Tried HP diagnostic. Am not technically experienced but have been using computer for years.

Hi there,
Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Print spooler keeps stopping on Windows 7

I have an HP desktop computer running Windows 7 it has an HP photosmart Printer and an Kodak AIO 5500 attached to it and shared over the network. Everything is fine with the HP printer but every time I try to print to the Kodak the print spooler keeps
stopping. I have tried many of the work arounds I have found but nothing helps. Every time I try to print to the KOdak I have to wait until after I have made all the print option and then I have to start the spooler. The firmware and software is up to
date on the Kodak printer. How can I fix this?

Hi,
I would like to suggest you perform the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
Clear Printer Spooler Files and Enable the Spooler Service
=================================
1. Click Start, type "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks) in the Search box and press Enter.
2. Double-click "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.
3. Click Stop and click OK.
4. Click Start, type "%WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers" in the Start Search box and press Enter, delete all files in this folder.
5. Click Start, type "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks) in the Start Search box and press Enter.
6. Double-click "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.
7. Click on Start. In the Startup Type list, make sure that "Automatic" is selected and click OK.
Does it work?
Regards,
Arthur Li - MSFT
Thanks Arthur. Your solution worked for me and I now have both my printers back in use. I am using Windows 7 and IE9. Suspect that clicking the Print button on an internet site yesterday when reserving an item for collection at the local outlet of
a national high street retailer may have caused the problem.
