Satellite A105-4384: Vista Print Spooler will not keep running

I upgraded my Satellite A105-4384 to Windows Vista professional. I downloaded all of the driver updates from Toshiba's website and ever since....my print spooler service will not run.
It starts with no error but immediately dies. Please advise of a fix for this. FYI. It dies w/no printer installed.

Hi
I do not know what happen exactly but I am wondering if print spooler service has something to do with Toshiba directly or maybe you should ask Microsoft what is wrong there.
I use Vista Ultimate on older Satellite M70 and I can print all my Word documents.

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)

Problem window print spooler wont start/stay running

Issue : Win8.1 print spooler wont start or stops. [ I have correctly/successfully installed Brother_2140 laser printer ]
I have been furnished and must install a Diabetes handheld meter driver for Onetouch Ultramini w/USB software & USB driver software v2(.3.3). The Onetouch meter's USB cable and software install require that a print spooler be operational. The Win8.1 print spooler will not start or stay running. The win8.1 print spooler has many problems or issues according to the Microsoft web postings.
After my issue has been resolved, please have your Lawyers contact Lifescan corporate Lawyers that the glucose meter's software & functionality Should NOT be dependent upon either Micrsoft or Laser printer vendors products.
I am a diabetic who must report my blood sugar meter readings ASAP. I am stuck inside during winter snow & ice.
I heed HP support of my Laptop w/embedded/bundled product including Micrsoft's Win8 (Tech Support).
As life gets more complicated, why does the liklihood that everthing complicated work perfectly decrease.
Regards,
Ken Woods

Good day sir,
Sorry to hear about the issues experienced with the printer and certainly hope that things do get better.
Do you have an HP printer or Brother printer?
If Brother, unfortunately we are unable to assist with those in these forums.
The Brother support forums are located here: http://www.brother-usa.com/askus/default.aspx?PGID=1#.VLbyySvF8nV
Otherwise if you do have an HP printer, what is the model number so we can assist further?
Best Regards

Adobe Pdf Converter Print Driver Will not install

Acrobat V9.0
Vista Utimate Service Pack 1
I have not been able to print to the PDF Printer. I get the following error when I select the PDF printer.
"The 'Adobe PDF Converter' printer driver is not installed on this computer. Some printer properties will not be accessible unless you install the printer driver. Do you want to install the driver now?"
When I say yes and select version 8.5.0.0 printer since it is the latest version. I get a Add Printer Driver Wizard window that says. "Unable to install adobe pdf converter, Type 3 - User Mode, x86 driver. Access is denied.
I went through all the recommended steps on the web site listed below with no success.
Thanks in advance for you help.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Solution 1: Use a supported installation.
The following are unsupported installations, and the supported solutions:
If you install Acrobat (Professional or Standard) on a 64-bit operating system, then you may
see this error. Please update Acrobat to version 8.1 or later. You can update from within
Acrobat via the help pull-down menu, or download the updater from the following location:
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows.
If you install Acrobat to a shared network disk instead of a local hard disk, then the Adobe PDF
printer is not installed. Install Acrobat on a local hard disk.

I am having similar problems. After years of successful use, about a year ago, my printer (Epson stylus Photo R300) stopped working. After much investigation, it appears my computer no longer recognizes my printer. I've followed resets, safe boots, uninstalls, reinstalls, etc. This happened so long ago, I don't recall what I was doing when it happened. I'm figuring it happened shortly after a Software Update... So far none of the fixes recommended to me have solved the problem. I've been using Epson customer support, but they've stopped responding. None of their suggestions have seemed to work either.

Cancelled print but will not cancel and comes back on to print same job

cancelled print but will not cancel and comes back on to print same job on on hp deskjet all in one

Hi,
From the Control Panel, open Administrative Tools and select Sevices. Browse down to the print spooler service, right click it and select Properties then click on the Stop button. Now browse to C:\Windows\System32\Spool\PRINTERS and delete the job inside this folder - You may need to click a prompt to gain the appropriate authority to open the PRINTERS folder.
Restart the computer and you should find the job has been removed.

ICal print menu will not come up

I have been trying to print my iCal calendar from my PowerBook G4, but the print menu will not come up. I have printed it from here before, so where did the print menu go? Help!

We have exactly the same problem here:
OS 10.4.3, iCal 2.0.3, HP Photosmart 2610
- Printing on any app works fine, ecept iCal
- in iCal choosing the command "print..." just does nothing.
I tried:
- creating a new user - > printing in iCal works fine!
so I tried:
- trashing ...
... all ical-plists in "user/Library/Preferences/"
... the folder "user/Library/Application Support/iCal"
... moving all user-pref files out of the preferences folder
... disabling all the fonts in "users/Library/Fonts/" and "hd/Library/Fonts"
no way the get it back to print!
I'm sure it has nothing to do with the HP printer, cause on a different account it works.
Any ideas what else I could disable?
Thanks for ideas
Thierry

HT1338 I have updated my new MacBook Pro for HP Photosmart All-in-One, but it still will not scan - it will print, but will not scan. How can I fix this?

I have installed the updates for my HP Photosmart All-in-One c309a. It prints, but will not scan. Tells me to update - I did that, but still won't scan. Any suggestions to make the scanner work?
This all worked perfectly with my old 2008 MacBook Pro.

Have you tried scanning from Image Capture or Preview?
A current driver is shown to be available for Mavericks (auto-downloaded):

But many people have found that manufacturer scanning control software doesn't work. They have to use the Apple-provided software.

Can no longer print from Photoshop CS^ have upgraded drivers error message reads There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents."

I have upgraded my iMac to Yosemite but now my two Canon Printers no longer print from Photoshop CS6. I have upgraded the drivers. All other applications including Lightroom are fine. I am receiving an error message as follows:"There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents." How can I get the OS to return a list of printers to Photoshop when Photoshop requests a list.

Have you printed to this printer from 10.10 before? If so, check your connections.

There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents. Error message in PhotoShop CC

Printing from PS CC worked fine today. I made no changes to preferences. In between working with 2 projects, the first one printed fine, the second gave me this Error Message.
There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.
Now I've checked for updates for my printer, reset my printer, reset PS CC preferences, picked my printer as Default and Last Used, and rebooted. I've followed all the recommended fixes for this issue I could find here and on the internet. I can print fine from any other program. Alas, the error message keeps popping up and I can't print.

Photoshop suddenly does not print to Epson 3880 - PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop After restart error message appears: - "There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopen

PROBLEM: Cannot print from Photoshop
After restart error message appears:
— “There was an error opening your printer. Printing functions will not be available until you have selected a printer and reopened any documents.”
• All print commands are greyed out and unavailable — even to call up the printer commands cannot be done.
The printer printed fine until about 2 weeks ago when this error message appeared. Printing continues from Pages, I-photo, preview etc. — only Photoshop fails.
The printer has been turned on and off, as have open documents been closed and open etc.. Preferences reset. Repeatedly I have read through blogs and forums and attempted to contact Adobe — all without results
Epson support struggled to find reason and several solutions were tried and they assume this is an Adobe problem.
Running Mac Powerbook X 10.10.2 / Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.x64
Attempting unsuccessfully to print to Epson 3880
What Adobe support will be of help.

When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"

When I click "Buy Now" in iPhoto's book I get the following message: "Your book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?"
How do I proceed? How do I identify which is "default text?"

What version of iPhoto are you using?
Go thru each page, check the layout to see if there's a text box included on the page and make sure there is text in that text box. If not it may show the "holding" text like this:
If you don't want to change the page layout to one that only has photos and no text boxes just select that holding text and put a space in its place.

When I click Buy Book this appears our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue? will the text I have sellected still be ok or will the book have missing text help Pleas?

I just spent 3 days creating a book [32 pages], with photos and text but when I click Buy Book In iPhoto this appears>
Our book appears to have default text that has not been edited. Printed books will not include this text. Do you want to continue?
My question is will the text I have sellected to use still be ok, am I safe to continue and buy or will the book have missing text ?
The book is for special birtday in 2 weeks time Please Help.G
<Email Edited by Host>

Yes, you're safe to continue. That means that there are text boxes that you did not put any text into and they contain the holding text which will not be printed. That text is shown in a light grayt and is in Latin. Normally you can just put a space in the text box to replace the holding text so as not to get that warning message.
Before ordering the book proof the book according to this Apple document: iPhoto, Aperture: Previewing an order in iPhoto or Aperture. Check the pdf file for any missing text or photos and any warning indicators in the text boxes indicating that some of the text has exceeded the space allotted in the text box.
Keep the pdf file to compare with the printed copy when you reciive it.
