The print spooler will not run
The Windows XP print spooler will not run. We receive System event logs with
ID 7031 "The Print Spooler service terminated unexpectedly". This started after removing an HP laserjet print driver and uninstalling a citrix web plugin. We have already did the following: * the print spooler is set to start automatically * Its only dependency RPC is already started and running * we have removed all of the installed printers and we also removed all of the contents from the "C:\WINDOWS\system32 \spool\PRINTERS" directory * we have replaced the spoolsv.exe file with one from the xp install media * we have ran System file checker] * performed a System restore * set the print spooler service to restart after a failure After all of that the service still will not run. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

Did you also uninstall the printer driver packages from the Control Panel,
Programs and from Printers & Faxes, Server Properties (Step 4). You can also try the CleanSpooler package as described on Bruce Sanderson's website. http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging www.coribright.com/windows "vos" wrote in message ...

The print spooler will not run
I also had a "print spooler not running" message today, and have never seen that in decades of working on Windows. I followed the instructions to restart and was successful. However, in the description area, the verbage is in a language I don't recognize! I wonder if my problem will resurface? jdi4 -- jdi4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jdi4's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/98263.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/xp-print-fax/1175886.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
