Print Spooler won't start
If you go to administrative tools in the control panel
and go to services, scroll down to print spooler. Right click and click properties, click the tab dependencies and you will notice the print spooler depends on the service Remote Procedure Call(RPC). Go back to the service menu and scroll down to remote procedure call (RPC), right click and click start. This will start the RPC service allowing you to start the print spooler. If you want them both to start at startup, right click, properties, general, and change startup type to automatic for both of them. If the RPC start function is greyed out, you will have to go to the RPC properties, and select either manual startup(starts when you manually make it) or sutomatic(starts at startup) this list didn't fix mine,so i went thru and started everything that looked important and it works fine now, didn't even have to restart -----Original Message----- My printer seems to have uninstalled itself. One day it's working fine, next day I'm unable to print. When I go into Control Panel, the printer is gone (no printers are listed). When I try to use the add printer wizard I get an error: "Operation could not be completed". After researching, I'm told to check the print spooler service, it's likely not started. When I try to start the print spooler service, it gives me "error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely manner" (Note - it gives this error immediately. The Service Control window displays for less than a second before the error occurs.) Any ideas? . |
