Strange T400 issue - Dock/Print Spooler

Have a user within the company here.
Windows XP Professional SP3 - Print spooler continuously stops itself.
At first I thought it may have been an OS issue, but everything checks out just fine there.
So, I go take the laptop and am bringing it back to my desk to work on it, and I login while at their desk, and the print spooler is now fine. So, I log off, have them log back in, and everything is fine.
So, I go to say everything is fine, but I decide to put it back on the advanced mini dock to see if it works, prints fine there. So I restart the laptop, have the user log back in, print spooler isn't working.
It appears that as long as during startup the laptop is not in the dock, and once logged in you don't log off and back on, the print spooler will operate normally.
Anybody ever seen something like this?

hi,
I checked with other sample application also.. but its not working fine.
i am using firefox browser right now. can you explain why the issue is coming??

Strange layers issue when printing

Hi Guys,
I am having a strange issue which is probably easy to fix however I am not a heavy adobe user and dont know where to start.
This is the rough process to explain my point but a summary is - when printing PDF files they do not appear as they do on screen.
A picture/document is created in Adobe Illustrator, an outline PDF is then created and saved
I can open the outline PDF successfully, in newer versions of PDF Reader (v8+) the PDF displays on screen correctly. In older versions the PDF is missing lines or various things.
If I print this PDF all these lines etc still missing. I know this sounds vague but I will try and explain.
An example is this - the document is a black box with a silver smaller box on top in the centre. On the screen it shows correctly. When I print, the black box is printed with no silver box.
I have just discovered that the silver box is actually printed however its printed in the background so I think its got to do with layers? If I make the black box to be white, and then print I can see my silver box, so its clear it has been printed in the wrong order.
Oh another thing I have found is the default format for saving PDF files is v1.5 if I choose an older version, the layers are printed correctly
I have both Adobe reader installed on Mac's and PC and the issue happens on both
Surely all the printers I have can't be all in-compatible

This is not a scanning resolution factor and I have been scanning this way for years. These scans are not photos but documents. This problem just started. And as I said before, the problem also occurs when doing a save as from Illustrator, as well as supplied files from clients, so the scanning process has nothing to do with it. I just can't get them to print right.

Windows 8.1 Print Spooler Strangeness

The "Print Spooler" service entry has disappeared from services.msc
However I can still print, access my printers, and run net stop spooler and net start spooler and the service stops and restarts
But it's just not there in the GUI.
I've gone through several attempts to reinstall the service but nothing has changed the situation.
sfc /scannow comes back with no component store corruption.
Any Suggestions?

Hi,
On current situation, please refer to Arthur’s suggestion in following similar thread and check if can help
you to solve this issue.
Print
Spooler Service is missing
If this issue still exists, would you please let us know whether there has another good Windows 8.1 computer?
If has a good computer with the same OS and Print Spooler service display correctly, you also can Export Spooler registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Spooler) from the good computer and then Import it to the problematic computer.
Then please monitor the result. (Please note: please backup registry entries before any operation. It will help us to avoid any unexpected issue.)
If any update, please feel free to let us know.
Hope this helps.

Printer spool issue with HP LaserJet 1018

I seem to be having a recurring problem with the HP LaserJet 1018 that I am hoping someone has also had and can help me resolve. When I go to print I get a message that I need to set up a printer (it does not recognize the printer is there). When I click on set up a new printer, I receive a message that the local print spooler service is not running. Nothing I do seems to solve the problem.
This happened to me with my previous 1018 printer. The exact same thing. I had a second 1018 available to me that I connected and it worked just fine for about two months and now is doing the same thing as the first.
I have an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC with Windows 7 (64 bit) operating system. I previously had a Dell with Windows XP that the first printer worked on for a long time (maybe 2+ years). I got this new computer within the past six months and both these printers stopped working while on this computer.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Welcome to the HP Forums fastndfury,
I see by your post that you are only getting the error on the Windows 8 computer, "The scanner is currently in use. Please wait until your previous task is completed and then try scanning again." I can help you with this issue.
I have provided a document to go through the steps to see if it will help resolve this issue.

=================================
1. Run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks).
2. Double-click "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.
3. Click Stop and click OK.
4. Navigate to "%WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers", delete all files in this folder.
5. Run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks).

OfficeJet Pro L7780 - Have to Restart Print Spooler every job I print (Windows 7 32-bit)

I have an OfficeJet Pro L7780 that shows as offline in Devices and Printers constantly. I discovered if I queue up print jobs to it and then restart the print spooler all of the jobs will come out perfectly then the printer will instantly go offline. Here is what I've done for troubleshooting already:
Upgrade to newest firmware (R2011NxNxeN0)
Factory Reset by hold # and 3 at boot
Changed Ink and Print Heads
Installed newest 14.0 driver (tried both Basic and IT Pro Driver)
Rebooted and restarted printer and computer
Tried all this on a 2nd Windows 7 computer with the same results
Anyone actually use this printer on Windows 7 32-bit over the wired network port!!?!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Same printer, same problem, same remediation by restarting Printer Spooler service. Only difference is OS is Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
FYI- I'm using my L7780 via a wifi connection using WPA2 security and a static IP and network RAW printing to port 9100. The printer always appears available via network pings but not to the print spooler. As such, printer is always "grayed out" and disabled but will accept jobs into its queue.
After endless searching this is what appears to be working as a fix: Turn off SNMP on printer port.
Printer Properties -> Ports Tab -> (Select Port) -> Configure Port -> uncheck "SNMP Status Enabled"
Hopefully this works for others- but I also found mention that others found a fix in toggling other settings such as "Enable bidirection printing" check box. Who knows what seemingly unrelated software triggers this issue but it began one strange day and drove me crazy.

HP Printing problems due to print spooler error v28

Recently printer stopped printing. Print jobs show up in the print spooler & after about 1 minute, error code 28 comes up. I have to clear queue. Next print job does same thing. I know my printer is Ok since I can print jobs from other Pc running win xp. I ran many HP on line tools to fix problem but to date no fix. Even reloaded drivers.Thanks, Mr_BobMy Pc is a Dell 570 win 7 pc

Hi , I see by your post that you are getting a "Print Spooler v28" error. I would like to help you. Looking at the title, it looks like you have the USB connected to the router. This can cause intermittent issues and it may or may not work. Connect the printer directly to a wall outlet and connect the USB cable to the computer. (not a docking station or hub, router) The USB cable shouldn't be longer then 6 feet. Clear the Spool folder and restart the Print Spooler, to see if that will help.How to Clear Current Print Queue In Windows Vista & Windows 7. If the issue persists, download and run the Print and Scan Doctor, it will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it.

Printing ZPL (Zebra) data to printer spooler without character conversion

Hi all,
We are printing shipping labels from UPS, with a process where we recive the ZPL label code directly from UPS, and we just need to pass the data to the printer to get the labels. We have already implemented this with Fedex and some custom labels, and it works perfectly. The problem with the UPS label data is that it contains non-printable characters (in the MaxiCode data field). When passed to the SAP printer spooler (see code example below), the data gets corrupted because SAP interprets these non-printable characters as printer control codes.
I have verified this by saving the ZPL data to a local file, before printing it through the SAP spooler. I then print this raw data and compare the output with the labels printed from the spooler. The MaxiCode (the big 2D barcode) is different in these labels. UPS has also tested the labels, and rejected them because of incorrect data in the barcode.
For printing, we are using printers defined as type "PLAIN", but I also tried using the "LZEB2" device type with the same result. The error we see in the spooler entry is this:
Print ctrl S_0D_ is not defined for this printer. Page 1, line 2, col. 2201
Print output may not be as intended
The printer ctrl code differs, depending om the label. I have examined the spooler data in "raw" mode, and there is always an ASCII character 28 (hex 1C) in front of the characters that SAP think are control codes, and this is why I think these non-printable characters are the reason for the problems.
This is the function module I use to print the ZPL data (and as stated above, this works fine for Fedex and custom labels). The ZPL data is converted to binary format before passed to the function module, but I also tried to send the data in text format with another FM, but the result is the same. I have experimented with the "codepage" parameter, and this one gives the least amount of errors, and some labels actually get through without errors. But still at least 50% of the labels gets corrupted, with log entries like above.
CALL FUNCTION 'RSPO_SR_WRITE_BINARY'
      EXPORTING
        handle           = lv_spool_handle
        data             = lv_label_line_bin

Does anyone know if there is a way to send data to the spooler without character conversion or interpretation of printer control codes? Or is there any other smart way to get around this problem?
/Leif

I do a more direct output to the spooler, to avoid any issues with the WRITE statement and SAP's report output processing. At the same time, I insert line breaks so that the output is easy to debug in the spooler if needed. Also included is the code to to detect the escape code (ASCII #28) and to insert a control code ZZUPS in its place (you can skip this for Fedex). Here's a simplified example, but please note this is for a Unicode system, some minor changes is required in a non-Unicode system.

How to monitor Print Spool folder in Business Objects XI R2 - Crystal report

Hi Guru's
We recently had a issue where disc space was full in BO server and it was down. The reason was there was one job in print spool folder which was eating up whole space in C drive.
We had to stop the print spool service and delete the jobs and restart it back.
In order to prevent this from happening what can be done??.
One way that my client suggested is to write a script where in it will send us the size of print spool folder every hour so we can find the report which is causing this. I have no idea how this can be done.
This happened once and I dont have an answer when my manager asks will it happen again. Is there a way where we can monitor this or stop this from happening.
My current environment is
BOXI R2 , crystal report XI is the reporting tool.
Thanks.

Normally you should run your CR reports in the INfoView. You can start a report either by double clicking on it or by selecting View in the context menu. Still in order to fetch data you have to press the Refresh button in the CR viewer window (in the InfoView).
In the CMC I assume that you are using the Run now option in the context menu. Please note that this will just schedule your report immediatelly. hen the report is scheduled a new instance is created hich is available in the History of the report. In order to see a report in the CMC select again View in the context menu and you can again fetch data by pressing the Refresh button.

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.

Print spooler log error ID 808 [Internet Explorer 11 + MS Office 2003-2007 x86 on Win7 sp1 x64 ONLY!]

howdy all,
could you please help me to resovle the very much odd issue of IE11 on Win7sp1x64 as below.
Note: my original post @ MS support is here [oops, sorry, I'm not allowed to paste a normal link here] "http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/forum/ie11-windows_7/print-spooler-error-id-808-internet-explorer-11-on/f52ff25c-4702-4ce3-827e-e1e9a5d324cf"
and now it's a repost due to advice of MS MVP PA Bear.
SUMMARY:
my 1st post there:
howdy all pros around,
i'd much appreciate any pro advice concerning the absolutely odd printer spooler issue as below.
sorry to post this again when there are a lot of look same cases available posted and discussed but now i shall insist that this is niether a printer driver nor a ms win7 spooler itself issue but the one of solely Internet Explorer 11
[11.0.9600.17041] installed onto fully updated Win7sp1x64(!) when i have 3 win7sp1 machines around and this issue doesn't occur on single 32-bit win7 pc!
the funniest point is that the issue doesn't prevent both win7sp1x64 computers to print normally!
also this never occurs while printing any docs or even web pages from Google Chrome.
but it always appears in win7 admin logs twice(!) while printing any web page from IE11! although there is no problem if you print web page from IE11 to PDF file...
this never happened with IE8 before its update thru MS Update to IE11 a couple of days ago.
error in short:
The print spooler failed to load a plug-in module C:\Windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\3\UNIDRVUI.DLL, error code 0xc1. See the event user data for context information.

you shall be assured that i've carefully looked thru many threads regarding the similar issues, and i'd much appreciate any non-common advice, when all common ways like uninstall/install printer etc don't work for sure.
thanks much
p.s. my printer model is hp deskjet 970cse - connected to a router thru usb and installed on all 3 win7sp1 machines as a local printer via the created standard tcp/ip port.
p.p.s. btw here are results of tool filever.exe as kindly provided long ago by Alan Morris of MS [oops, sorry, I'm not allowed to paste a normal link here] "http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/windows-7-hp-printer-problems/6833a54c-6974-4fe9-b74c-93ed879781b0?page=2"

well, as far as i can see all binaries here are x64. moreover these files are same on another x64 pc and similar on x86 one but naturally x86 and located in another folder w32x86.
my last post there:
oops. action replay.
1. z printer works well (i.e. printing anyting w/o any problem) on 3 PCs - 2 of 3 with win7sp1x64; and 1 of 3 - win7sp1x86. all 3 with IE11 installed.
2. however BOTH (that is 2 of 3) above PCs of win7sp1x64 return errors to admin log every time when printing any web page from IE11. this occurs only if printing from IE11. non of other printing jobs are affected including a printing from Google
Chrome and Opera.
3. win7sp1x86 PC prints from IE11 w/o any errors in log!
4. a quote from my initial post:
you shall be assured that i've carefully looked thru many threads regarding the similar issues, and i'd much appreciate any non-common advice, when all common ways like uninstall/install printer etc don't work for sure.
appreciate.
THANKS A LOT!
UPDATE! i'm sorry to provide you with a bit incomplete/incorrect error sympthoms.
this error is being returned to win7sp1x64 PCs print server logs not only while printing from IE11 but from MS Office 2003 & 2007 as well, however all non-MS applications to print out from (Adobe, ACDSee, Chrome, Opera, etc.) aren't affected at all.
also test page printing is always OK!
so i've amended the header of my post accordingly.
thanks again!

howdy Karen,
2 (two) PCs of quite similar win7sp1x64 config affected!
sorry but your kind prompt doesn't work. i've not only tried to remove all printers except AdobePDF Converter, CANVAS PS, Fax, MS XPS Writer in common way from Devices & Printers menu but also removed all their dependencies in Printer Server config menu
(access thru DOS printui /s /t2) except same AdobePDF Converter, CANVAS PS, MS XPS Writer (all x64 Type 3 - User Mode).
moreover i've managed to update the troubled core component thru a manual install of HP PLC6 Universal Driver, so now its updated as below:

Printing issues when printing to Server 2008 R2 Print Server

We have a problem with netwok printing that encompasses many different areas and versions of Windows OSes so I will be posting this in a few different places.
Let me lay this out for you. We have a single Server 2008 R2 print server with 300 printers of various models. This print server has both 32 and 64-bit drivers installed for every printer. For the HP printers we are using the HP Universal Printing PCL 6
(version 61.94.3.37) and for the Ricoh printers we are using their PCL6 driver for universal printing version 3.5. All drivers run in Isolation mode and no printer gets published to AD.
We have a mix of Windows clients printing to these printers, both XP Pro and Windows 7 32 and 64-bit.
Now for the problems: The other day one Isolation host on the server went crazy, processing was hitting 100% and memory was fluctuating and growing a lot. After investigating a little that isolation host was having issues accessing the Ricoh Driver (which
was 3.4 at the time). In an attempt to resolve the issue we updated the driver to V. 3.5. This seemed to fix the isolation issues and things calmed down however this is the beginning of many other issues for the clients. Both Windows OS versions (XP and 7)
don't seem to be either downloading and installing the updated driver and/or doing so correctly. Clients are now experiencing extremely slow printing, applications such as Word, Outlook, Excel and others open slowly and it can take 2-3 minutes for print dialog
boxes to open. In all cases it seems that we have to have a tech delete the printer(s), delete the driver and then re-install the printer to make things better but for some reason, which is really unknown, this process doesn't work for every machine and on
some we can't even remove the old drivers at all without booting into SafeMode and doing it that way.
With all of that said, are there any suggestions as to why the clients aren't downloading and installing the drivers from the server correctly? How to avoid these issues when we need to upgrade the drivers on the server in the future? Most importantly right
now, are there any recommendations or scripts on how to force the deletions of the printer, driver, reset the print spoolers and then re-add the printers in a more automated fashion?
I have played with both wmic, pnputil and printuidll and am trying to put something together but without a set solution that will work consistently it becomes a lot more difficult.

We are experiencing a very similar issue.
Windows Server 2008 R2. Printers are deployed over group policy.
Clients range from Windows 7 to Windows 8. Citrix XenDesktop and XenApp environment also connects to these endpoints.
We have A wide assortment of HP printers, and Ricoh Printers.
For the ricoh's we have been historically using the PCL6 drivers for the individual device type (not universal print). Up till recently, it all was working fine, until about some time in the middle of june, when everything just seemed to go crazy.
The issue was resolved by moving off from the PCL 6 drivers and using the PCL5e driver counterparts on all of our ricoh printers.
It would crash XenDesktop applications, it would crash office applications.
The print spooler would lock up, even if the ricoh printers were not actually used, just as long as they were loaded.
Even after loading PCL5 on the servers, some of the clients would simply not download the PCL5 version of the driver from the print server. In order to resolve this, I have created the steps below. Be advised, this may possibly cause damage on your system.
We just found it worked great for us. Local printers will likely have to be manually reinstalled after this.
Directions
Stop the print spooler
Open C:\Windows\System32\Spool and delete the following
All files in SERVERS
All files in PRINTERS
All files in drivers
All files in prtprocs
Start the print spooler
Open a command prompt as administrator, and run the following command
Cscript C:\windows\system32\Printing_Admin_Scripts\en-US\prndrvr.vbs -x
This should further delete all print drivers.
Open a command prompt as a standard user (not administrator) and run the following
Gpupdate
Now wait. It takes a while, but the printers will slowly start to repopulate.
I am still not sure what is going on with the PCL6 drivers for ricoh, and why this issue is happening. I'm guessing it has something to do with the Ricoh auto update that is included in their pcl6 drivers. Maybe some sort of auto update happened recently.

If your PRINT SPOOLER IS "GONE", you may have to contact WINDOWS for this issue. I would like to double check first though.
What operating system are you using? If windows 7 or XP, do the following:
1. Click Start Menu
2. RIGHT-click computer
3. Choose MANAGE
4. Click Services and Applications
5. Choose Services
6. Scroll down until you see PRINTER SPOOLER, if it is there, click on it, and START it
IF you DO NOT SEE IT IN THAT LIST, you will have to contact WINDOWS, because you may have to reformat your operating system, but contact them first.
Let me know if this helps, thanks.
