Service spouleur windows 7

Troubleshooter hangs until print spooler is reset and it does not detect any problem with print spooler. Re-installing the drivers hangs at every step unless I repeatedly reset print spooler. The driver will not install properly, and the software cannot detect the printer. Windows can detect the printer, but hangs when trying to install drivers, and fails if I reset print spooler. I have tried a bunch of the fixes posted on here, but they all fail.

Theres also no point in mentioning fixes without saying what those fixes were. How satisfied are you with this reply? Thanks for your feedback, it helps us improve the site.

In reply to Palcouk's post on September 27, I have a HP DeskJet This window contains all of the necessary options for correctly customizing your print spooler and troubleshooting issues that might occur. By default, the tab that is selected on this menu is the General tab. In the menu shown in the image below, click the drop-down menu to the right of Startup type , then click Automatic.

This will ensure that your print spooler starts as soon as you turn on your computer, which will prevent your programs from sending items to the printer unsuccessfully. Once you have chosen the Automatic option, click Apply at the bottom of the window to apply your change, then click OK. You will note that there is also a horizontal row of buttons that say Start , Stop , Pause and Resume. Each of these buttons perform the action that they indicate, however, if a button is grayed out, then the action that the button performs is not currently available.

Typically a button is grayed out because of the current status of the print spooler. For example, if you can click the Stop button, this is because the print spooler is currently running.

If the print spooler is not running, then you will be able to click the Start button to make it run again. These buttons, as well as the Startup type drop-down menu, are the first items you should check on your print spooler menu when you are unable to print. At the top of the print spooler menu is another tab that you should check to ensure that the print spooler is behaving correctly.

Click the Recovery tab at the top of the window. This menu contains the settings for how the print spooler should respond in the event that it fails. The correct settings for this menu are shown in the image below. The steps below are going to show you where to find the Print Spooler service on your Windows 7 computer. The method described below is quickest way to get to this menu.

Step 2: Type services. Step 3: Scroll down the list it is sorted alphabetically until you find the Print Spooler option. Step 4: Right-click on the Print Spooler option, then select the Start option. After a few seconds the Print Spooler should be running.
