jobs in your queue. If you see any error message
about the print spooler, this tool has been
corrupted or is failing to interact correctly
with other software. You may need to try more
than one method to fix the spooler.

    work on an earlier OS)

    dialogue. Type services. msc and press ? Enter.

Stop and start the spooler. The Stop and Start
buttons are located in the Print Spooler
Properties window you just opened, on the General
tab. Some errors are fixed by stopping, then
starting the print spooler again. Leave the
window open, as we have a couple other changes to
make.

Set the Spooler to start up automatically. Select
the drop-down menu following "Startup type."
Select Automatic to ensure the spooler starts up
each time your computer does, so it doesn't miss
any incoming print jobs. Press Apply in the lower
right to save your changes.

Change the recovery options. Next, click on the
Recovery tab. This controls how the spooler
responds to its own errors. A few adjustments
will maximize the chance of the spooler solving
its own issues, and minimize the chance of it
causing a crash. Change the settings to match the

Forbid interaction with desktop. Click the Log On

necessary for any reasonably modern setup. As
always, click Apply.

Restart and try again. At this point, you can try
printing again. You may need to close the
Properties window and/or restart your computer
before the changes take effect. If you still get
an error message, continue on to the next step.

  • Service depends on the following system
    components. Look up the status of each service
    listed in this panel
  • Return to the Services window. If you closed it,
    open it again as described in the first step of
    this method.
  • Find the name of one of the services you saw in
    the upper Dependencies pane, listed under the
    Name column.

  • Confirm that the word "Started" is in the Status
    column for that file.
  • Confirm that the word "Automatic" is in the
    Startup Type column for that file.
  • If one of the services you looked up does not
    have these values, Stop and Start that service.
    You can do this with the icons in the Services
    window, or by double-clicking the service name
    and using the buttons in its Properties window.
  • If the Stop and Start icons are greyed out, or if
    stopping and starting does not change the values
    to "Started" and "Automatic," try reinstalling
    the drivers as described below If this doesn't
    work, you may need a specific troubleshooting
    guide for that service, which may involve
    high-risk registry editing.
