"Spooler Subsystem App has encountered a problem and needs to close"

I get this error when trying print over my wireless network with my new HP Deskjet F4280 all in one. Desktop hooked up ehternet to a D-Link WBR-1310 router, Laptop running wireless on router. Both computers running XP home. Setup network on both computers with network wizard, installed all HP software/updates on both computers.
Tried connecting printer to the other computer and printing the other direction with the same results. Used HP live chat help last night with no results. Tried all the Microsoft automatic and manual fixes after searching for the error. Turned on printer sharing as usual.
When the error occurs it stops print spooling service on the computer the printer is connected to directly. Printer works fine on which ever computer it's connected to, just have the problem when trying to print over the network.

For those who still have this problem, I found the solution on this forum -thanks MP2000 (see http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=Networking&message.id=839#M839)
Go to the computer that the HP F4280 printer is connected to.
Click on Start --> Printer and Faxes
Right click on HP Deskjet F4280 and select Properties
Click on Advanced tab
Uncheck "Enable advanced printing features"
click OK
And it works!

  • 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!

  • LV 8.6 will Not Compile in LV 2010 - Labview 10.0 Development System Has Encountered a Problem and Needs to Close

    I submitted this support request to NI on 8/12/2010.
    When I compile my LV 8.6 app in LV2010 I get this error:
    "LabVIEW 10.0 Development System has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    I was told to do a "Mass Compile" of my LV 8.6 app in LV2010...this failed too.
    I was then told to go to each and every vi and "Mass Compile" individually...after about the 50th vi this got old quickly...and it still didn't compile.  I then sent NI tech support "my code".  The good news is my LV 8.6 app didn't compile with LV2010 @ NI.
    My LV 8.6 app compiles and runs great in LV 8.6.  I don't want to be left behind with the newer upgrades and I want to move to LV2010.  I have lots of LV8.6 code to maintain and I really don't have the time to debug all of my apps.
    I was told this will be looked @ in LV2010 SP1.
    One note...back up your LV8.6 data before you move to LV2010.  Once your LV8.6 code is compiled in LV2010 you will not be able to go back to LV8.6.
    I restored all of my LV8.6 code and I'm back working with LV8.6.
    It's a tough call, do I stay in LV8.6 and get left behind?
    Do I bite the bullet and try to debug this mess in LV2010?
    I was told the compiler is completely different in LV2010.  That's great, but one reason I have NI Maintenance Agreement is to keep updated with the latest software.  I can't afford to re-compile LV code every few years.  Like most people, maintaining my Apps with customer's revisions, and modifications is enough work.  I don't want more work!
    I was told LV2010 SP1 would likely appear in May or June of 2011.  I'd hate to break out my old Turbo Pascal apps again...but hey...they still work!  My NI maintenance agreement is due this month too, I guess I'll pay NI one more year, and see if they come up with a solution.  But if NI doesn't fix this LV8.6 compile in LV2010 problem...I don't see any value staying current with LV software.
    I found another Bug with LV2010...you are going to love this one!
    There is a new "LV Update Service".  Perfect!  I like updating my LV software when new patches are available.  When I click "update" the update spins over and over "Checking for New Version".  I have let it run ALL day with no results...just sits and spins over and over.
    OK, I know give NI a break!  Yes, LV2010 has a new compiler...and Yes, I will renew my NI maintenance agreement.  I just want NI to know failing to compile just one LV8.6 app in LV2010 is not a good idea for customer relations.
    Thanks,
    Doug

  • Constantly getting "Syncservicesagent has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

    Hi folks. Running Snow Leopard with Outlook, Word, Safari, iCal and iPhone. Constantly receiving error message: "Syncservicesagent has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    Any ideas?
    Cheers, Matt.

    Hi - thanks for the detailed reply.
    Yeah it still pops up though I've stopped all the MS applications - Word, Excel, Outlook.
    I Force Quit it in Activity Monitor but it pops back up again, almost immediately. It's like it's running in background, for want of a better term.

  • Microsoft word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience

    After installing Mavericks, I get this same error box for each of the MS Office 2008 apps.  "Microsoft [word,excel/etc] has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."   I've tried to open in a test user account and same thing happens.  Any ideas?  I don't really want to splurge for a new version.  Thanks.

    Have you installed all of the available updaters for Office 2008? In each of the apps use the Help ➙ Check for Updates menu option.
    Then be sure to run Disk Utility and repair disk permissions.

  • Right after upgrade: iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    We just allowed the iTunes update, then when we went to start iTunes we keep getting this message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."
    I've tried to follow some of the help documents (deleted SCinfo.sidb from: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1776), deleted a local docuemnts temp directory, made sure QuickTime does work on it's own.
    My setup had iTunes on the C drive originally but over a year or two ago now I moved that to an external drive, that is still attached. I'm leary to uninstall and reinstall as I don't know if I'll loose any movies/music/audiobooks/podcasts/apps I have in there (my new iTunes folder was named F:/New-iTunes and has worked without issue since day 1 until this update this week.)
    I need to get our iPod(s) up to date with media before we go out of town later this weekend. Help please.

    In order to see the error repeated, I had to reenable Bonjour. First I just manually started the service, then iTunes and no issue. iTunes worked. Then I set the service to manually start, rebooted, started Bonjour then iTunes. iTunes worked again. Finally, set Bonjour to Automatic, rebooted then tried to start iTunes and ERROR.
    iTunes won't start if Bonjour set to Automatic.
    The error listed in the message box is:
    Error Signature:

  • "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" problem.

    Before you read anything, please understand that I am literally being driven to tears right now and that I am on the brink of insanity.
    On Saturday, I tried to update my iPod with new songs and apps that I got from the iTunes stores since Friday. Itunes would open but in the next 10 seconds following it, the error window that says "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" etc. came up. I let it go for like two hours, thinking it was a small bug or something, and I ran a virus scan too, just to make sure (I just switched to AVG too on Saturday). Two hours later, iTunes STILL wouldn't work and by that time, I was about to become upset. I uninstalled and then reinstalled iTunes about 5 times that day. Now today, iTunes is still giving me the same problem. I know other users have faced similiar problems but someway or another, they found a way to fix it.
    I have tried EVERYTHING to fix iTunes. I even did a Quicktimes and an iTunes run to get rid of any and all files associated with the two programs. When I finally thought the nightmare would end, I downloaded iTunes again. However, not only did it NOT work but now EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY SONGS that I had in my library were GONE. No traces, nothing. Even the movies that I had on it had vanished. Everything single thing that I bought in the iTunes store disappeared. Now, at this point, I am now both incredibly frustrated, and crying my freaking eyes out now. (Understand that I am 15 years old and I grew up with music as my only solace.)
    Somebody, just please help me through this ****. All I wanted was to just update my iPod so I could listen to it in school, and now my music is gone, along with a dead iPod. -_-

    I found my solution! In case you're still having trouble, here's what I did (please pardon the odd grammar, I copy-and-pasted this from another one of my questions!):
    And for those of you who are still experiencing this problem, this is what I did. Although I don't know your details and your own specific problems, I hope this can be at least a helpful guide. (The solution was incredibly simple and easy that I am extremely mad at myself for deleting all of my files now...)
    First, just for safety measures, run a virus scan and a malware scan (so you can get rid of those icky programs lurking in your computer). Once you're done with that, check to see if your computer has an update for you (those automatic updates you get that comes with every Windows computer). If you do, click on it and update your computer. Once it's done, restart your computer and VIOLA! Itunes is fixed, Quicktime is fixed, and Adobe Reader is fixed.
    It's insane. I guess this just goes to show that even the simplest of things can fix such a mind-boggling problem! Before you take extreme and drastic measures, follow through with the simplest of solutions first!

    Hi,
    I would like to suggest you run System File Checker with command: sfc /scannow to scan and repair the system files.
    If it does not work, please also test the issue in Clean Boot.
    Clean Boot
    ================
    Let’s disable all startup items and third party services when booting. This method will help us determine if this issue is caused by a loading
    program or service. Please perform the following steps:
    1. Click the Start Button type "msconfig" (without quotation marks) in the Start Search box, and then press Enter.
    Note: If prompted, please click Continue on the User Account Control (UAC) window.
    2. Click the "Services" tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" box and click "Disable All" (if it is not gray).
    3. Click the "Startup" tab, click "Disable All" and click "OK".
    Then, restart the computer. When the "System Configuration Utility" window appears, please check the "Don't show this message or launch the System
    Configuration Utility when Windows starts" box and click OK.
    What’s the result in Clean Boot?

  • Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. (ver 1.4.1)

    I completed a search for this problem here and other forums, and found very useful information, however, I still need help. My laptop is an HP Pavillion dv1000, Intel Centrino, Windows XP, 1.24G of RAM; Camera is a Canon 5D, shooting JPEG only.
    After a couple of weeks enjoying a vacation in the Caribbean, it was time to load all the new pics in the computer. I removed the card from my camera and using windows explorer, downloaded all pics in MyPictures folder. I created a new folder for this trip, and while I was there, I decided to reorganize several folders from previous trips. I renamed and moved folders around, deleted pictures, etc. (I believe that all the changes that I made created my problem.)
    Once I finished all the changes with my folders, I launched Lightroom (ver 1.4.1) with the idea of synchronizing the folders and start working on my new pictures. After apx 8 seconds, I got the message: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    After a google search, I found a lot of potential answers to my problem, including this one, which I tried:
    "It might also be worth trying a temporary test catalog, just to see whether it's specific to that catalog. To do so, go to File menu > New Catalog and create a new catalog somewhere easy - Desktop perhaps - and just try importing a few photos into that test catalog and see if you can get it to freeze. I'm wondering if the catalog's been damaged slightly by that initial unexpected close, and if so, we'll see if we can get that sorted out for you."
    I did exactly that (created a test catalog) and I don't get the error. I am not clear on what does that mean. Could you help me understand it? What do I need to do to use my old catalog? Is it damaged? How can I fix it? Did I loose all the work that I did in my previous pictures?
    If I go back to my original catalog, I still get the error.
    Thank you in advanced for your assistance.
    Tony

    Tony,
    Here's something you might try:
    Create a new, empty catalogue and try File->Import from catalog... and specify your broken one as input. With luck the damage will be left behind.
    If that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your preferences file. Look here for its location.
    And if that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your presets folder. See that same website for details.

  • Adobe Audition has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    I have been using Audition 2.0 on this computer for quite some time and suddenly now when I open it, I get the cryptic error dialogue:
    "Adobe Audition has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.  If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.  For more information about this error, click here."
    When I click for more information, it's something useless like:
    AppName: audition.exe    AppVer: 2.0.5306.2    ModName: unknown
    ModVer: 0.0.0.0   Offset: 65726168
    Nothing on my computer has changed.  There are no viruses.  I have not added any new audio plug-ins.  I am completely up to date with all critical Windows XP SP3 updates and none have been downloaded and installed recently anyway.
    I searched the knowledgebase and found a document that suggesting many things to try.  I tried them all, including running the Windows hard disk "check disk" tool with options to fix file system errors and recover bad sectors. I also defragmented the hard drive.  Lastly, I completely uninstalled Audition, then  manually deleted any remaining files, including registry entries as suggested in another knowledgebase article.
    I then re-installed Audition 2.0 and it did exactly the same thing!  This it maddening.  Now it gets even more interesting.  I discovered that if I start up the
    Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit that Adobe Audition installed also, then try to launch Audition from the toolkit, IT STARTS CORRECTLY!  I can then close the toolkit and use it like normal.  Weird work-around.
    What the heck could possibly be going on?  Anyone have any ideas?  I've attached the error log file that is generated by the error but I doubt it will be of much help.
    Thanks!

    stevefoobar2: I may have found a solution for you.
    I had the same thing happen to me today. I was using Audition 2 this morning without any problems. But this afternoon, it started giving me the exact same error with no apparent reason. Nothing on my system had changed.
    So I uninstalled it and installed Audition 3 in its place. Audition 3 continued to have the same problem that Audition 2 had, so we can assume that this is not something that was changed between versions.
    But my attention was brought to the fact that you and I are both running Windows XP SP3 fully up-to-date. So I thought I'd try seeing it from the angle of a problem with Windows instead of Audition, and see if I didn't get a better result -
    First, I logged on to Windows as Administrator. This may or may not be required, but you'll probably want to do it just in case (you'll see what I mean later). At this point, Audition still crashed the same way when I opened it, so I moved on to my next troubleshooting strategy -
    Instead of opening Audition directly, I right-clicked the Audition icon and selected "Run as..." This may seem odd since I was already logged in as Administrator, but it proved to be the solution in my case.
    In the "Run As" diolog, there are two main options: run as current user, or run as another user.
    Since I was already logged in as Administrator, I could safely select the first option (run as current user). But here's the catch: selecting the first option allowed me to UNcheck the box underneath that says "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity" (see the attached picture)
    Audition opened without any problems when I did this.
    This makes me think that one of the Windows security features suddenly decided to block something that Audition was trying to do, crashing the program in the process. By turning off this security feature, the problem was solved. And I only had to do it once. Every time afterwards, Audition has opened without any problems when I simply open it from my desktop. Perhaps Windows now remembers not to block Audition in the future.
    However, I have not restarted my computer yet, or logged off as Administrator. You may need to tweak this solution if you plan to do either of these things. You may end up having to "Run as" Audition every time you restart your computer or log off. You may even need to select the SECOND option, and run the program as Administrator with the appropriate password.
    Anyway, this was the only post I could find on Adobe.com concerning this problem, so I thought I'd post my solution in case it helped someone else.

  • Adobe Acrobat  has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    Just recently when I launch Acrobat X after about 10 seconds I get this error, "Adobe Acrobat has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience."  I can create PDFs and open PDFs for 10 seconds.  I've done a repair of Acrobat,  I tried a new user account, and  I disbled all my start up items.  I still get the same error  I have no clue what to do.  Any suggestions?
    J.R.

    OK Will,  I pressed ctrl + Shift and double clicked on a desktop icon of a file.pdf I had saved there and it opened and is still open.  By not pressing ctrl + Shift the file opens then closes with that error in about10 seconds.
    So now, what has that proved to us is the issue?  Doesn't that load Acrobat without all the extensions?
    This issue just started a few days ago and all I remember installing on my computer were some Window's updates.
