How do I start or fix the print spooling servic e??

My Printer is an H P psc750-== and the only message I get when trying to start the Printer is the Print spooling is not working!
Just what is the spooling service and what do I do to get it woking again?? using Windows XP

The print spooler is where the print jobs go as a queue. You can start this by going to the Contorl Panel>administrative tools> services> then look for print spooler on the list when you click it then you would need to put it in automatic if its off. After that save it by clicking ok and check if it works.
I do work for HP. But i speak for myself.

I cant print i get the printer spool service message

i have pavallion a1737c and i cant print!!! i get the printing spool service is not running, i have tried to turn on the spooler in the services area but no luck, can someone please help

Norton cancelled their protection. My printer spool went with their cancellation. Now it doesn't work.

Printer won't print, fixes won't fix! Reset the printer spooler dependencies to default.

Using a stand-alone Dell XPS 420 with Vista 32 bit and an OKI C1500 printer connected by USB. Always a problem getting the printer going after it has been disconnected, but this time it's a big problem! Get a printer spooler error message and it defaults
to 'use printer offline' so have:
restarted Printer Spooler in Services and set it to Automatic start and set it's Recovery to restart after each failure
rebooted, restored PC, power recycled printer, tried different usb slots, cable works OK
deleted printer driver in case it was corrupt and downloaded a new one
applied the automatic Fixit programme
applied a fix to prnter dependencies resetting them to RPCSS
None of the above has worked.
Now I would like to know how to reset the default drivers for the spooler and find out the cause and how to fix the problem!
Recently removed a Trojan that hi-jacked 32Rundll and stopped Microsoft Security Essentilals from running.
I need any explanation in slow. simple dorkspeak like 'Step one: press down on the button with B on it' or I won't understand!
A lot to to ask I guess! Thanks,

Hi,
o 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

Acrobat 9 crashes the print spool

I have isolated the problem but I have no idea how to fix it. I have windows 7 Home Edition 64 Thanks in advance, Andy

Thanks for the quick response. I checked and I already have version 9.3.3. Here is some more info that may help:
(1) The problem only occurs when I print with Adobe Acrobat. Word, Wordperfect, excel, mozilla web pages, jpg files, all print fine.
(2) I think it has something to do with the print spool service (whatever that is)
(3) When I try to print from acrobat, it leaves files in C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS that I think are supposed to be deleted automatically that mess things up. One file ends in ".shd" and the other doesn't have an ending but explorer says it is a "shockwave" file.
I hope this problem makes some sense to you and is easy to fix. A.

Problem : error 1075 and Local print spooler service is not running.
problem description : I have a Lexmark x4270 all in one. I installed the driver for it in my new laptop running Vista. Turns out the driver is not for Vista but XP. I uninstalled the XP driver and downloaded a Vista driver from Lexmark. When I try to run the printer software I get a message "Local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine." I tried all of that. I have looked this problem up on the web and it is quite common with Vista. Many of the "solutions" say it is a problem with an incomplete removal of the incorrect printer driver and they show how to correct in the registry. I am not comfortable tinkering with the registry and thought I'd consult with you first.
I tried "everything" I could to fix the problem of getting "error 1075" fixed in my HP laptop running Vista. HP came up with simple solution below. The regedit part is what fixed mine. I did not need the safe mode part. I think Lexmark should add the solution to your knowledge base.
==============================
From HP: Please perform the below given steps in safe mode to resolve the issue.
Reboot your notebook and press F8. The system will show some booting options select safe mode.
Note: Starting computer in safe mode may take some time.
Uninstall the printer using Programs and Features from the control panel of your notebook.
Uninstalling any software from Control Panel :
1. Click on Vista (start) button
2. Click on control panel
3. Double click on Programs and Features
4. Click on YOUR Lexmark Printer and click on remove.
Download and reinstall the printer software using the below given link :
http://downloads.lexmark.com/cgi-perl/downloads.cgi?ccs=229:1:0:438:0:0&searchLang=en&os_group=Windows%20Vista&target=
NOTE: Clicking the link may give an error indicating it is invalid.
Copy and paste the entire link in a new browser window.
After the installation of drivers, restart the notebook into normal mode. Now plese check with printing any document. If the still persists then perform the below given steps :
Click on Vista (Start) button, and type Regedit.exe in search bar
Navigate to the following branch
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Services \ Spooler
In the right-pane, double-click the DependOnService value
Delete the existing data, and then type RPCSS
Close Regedit.exe
Restart the computer.
This should resolve the issue.

Jobs stay in queue and keep printing until you cancel them--then stops the print spooler...why?

My Printer: HP Photosmart C309a
My Laptop: HP G71 series
Operating System: Windows 7 (64 bit) but runs a lot of stuff on 32 bit
Problem: I print ONE copy of a multiple page document in Adobe Reader 9. I select even pages only (after which I would reinsert the pages and tell it to print odd pages only, to get the other side). The printer makes a sound indicating the job is finished, I remove my pages to collate them, and then the printer continues to print the job again without so much as a keystroke.
Naturally, you find the printer in the devices on the control panel, click "see what's printing" and highlight the job and cancel it.
Then somehow it turns off my print spooler.
I have tried everything suggested on other forums, like
restart the laptop/restart the printer
going to c\windows\system32\spool\printers and deleting whatever is hung up in there (usually a shockwave file).
Going to Services\print spooler \properties and making sure the settings are set to automatic
Uninstall\reinstall latest driver and software
Switching from Adobe Reader 10 to Adobe Reader 9
Use System Restore to try to reset the system to a previous state.
Run Trend Micro to check for viruses and spyware--nothing shows up.
I am positive the pdf doc is NOT the problem, because I can print it on my husband's laptop multiple times over with no problems.
Does anyone have this problem as well? Has anyone found a genuine solution other than manually canceling print jobs in queue and constantly restarting the print spooler?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hi,
I believe your printer is wirelessly connected to your computer, right?!
What's the current printer software version installed in your laptop computer?!
to see: click start>control panel>uninstall a program under Programs then it will tell you the software version like HP Photosmart c309a v13 or v14.
If the software version is v13, click here to download and install the current software.
IF all things still fail, try to use the workaround provided by HP in this link. It says:
Workaround
Your HP printing product can operate sufficiently using an alternate print driver, although there might be some limitations. For instance, some buttons on the product control panel might not function, but the product prints normally from the computer. If the solutions in this document do not solve the issue, download and install an alternate print driver.
Follow these steps to install the HP Deskjet 990C print driver.
NOTE: These steps install the new print driver using the same port that the product already uses. The product functions normally with multiple drivers on the same port.
Find the port that the product already uses.
Click the Windows icon ( ), and then click Control Panel . The Control Panel opens in a new window.
Click Hardware and Sounds .
Click Printers . The Printers folder opens.
Right-click the product icon ( ), and then click Properties . The Propertieswindow opens.
Click the Ports tab. A window opens with a list of ports. The port for the product has a checkmark or a highlight.
Note the name of the port indicated for the product.
Close the Properties window, and then continue with the next steps.
Click Add a Printer in the menu bar at the top of the Printers window. The Windows Add Printer Wizard opens.
Click Add a local printer .
Select Use an existing Port .
Click the drop-down menu next to Use an existing Port , and then select the port that you noted earlier in these steps.
Click Next .
In the Manufacturer pane, click HP .
In the Printers pane, click HP Deskjet 990c , and then click Next . (IF YOU CANT FIND DESKJET 990C, JUST CLICK WINDOWS UPDATE WITHIN THIS WINDOW. THEN FIND DESKJET 990C and then click next)
Type a name for the new printer in the Printer name box, or keep the default name.
Select Set as the default printer , and then click Next . A window opens with a progress bar as the printer installs. Then a new window opens.
Click Do not share this printer , and then click Next .
If you want to print a test page, click the Print test page button.
Click Finish to complete the driver installation.
Try printing again, but select HP Deskjet 990c from the Print dialog box.
If this solves the issue, follow these steps to use the HP Deskjet 990c print driver whenever you send print jobs to the product.
In the program you are using, select the option to print. The Print dialog box opens.
Click the Name drop-down menu, and then select HP Deskjet 990c .
Change print settings as desired in the Paper size , Quality , and Paper type drop-down menus.
Select the Print range and Copies options as desired.
Click OK . The product prints the file.

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.
