Print Spooler Service will not run
After recent security updates installed on 5/9/07, lost my printing
capabilities. Tried to reinstall printer but unable to. Get error message "Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running." Tried restarting the print spooler service - did not resolve problem. Attempted resolutions suggested in previous postings for this problem - did not resolve problem. Tried restoring system back to 5/4/07 system restore point. Did not resolve problem. Contacted MS, they suggested: reinstalling spoolsv.exe from system CD - tried this without resolution. contacting computer vendor - done; they were unable to assist; vendor referred me back to MS web site to download their spoolsv.exe which I was unable to locate. Am (was) using Epson C80 printer in Windows XP Pro SP 2 Help!!?

I'm not sure what you are suggesting that I do with the first reference you
gave me. (i.e. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935843/) I don't get any of those error messages. I have tried Bruce's suggestions. Specifically, I reinstalled the spoolsv.ex_ file from my system CD. That did not resolve the problem. I downloaded and ran the cleanspl.exe and that did not resolve the problem. Other suggestions? -- Ernie "Alan Morris [MSFT]" wrote: The graphics security fix interferes with some print drivers GDI security patch http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935843/ Stop 0x0000007F error when you try to print from computers that are running Windows XP or Windows 2000 and that have GDI security update 925902 installed Or follow Bruce's instructions to get the spooler running, then see if Epson has an updated driver http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Allen,
I am unclear about what you want me to do "GDI security patch http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935843/ Stop 0x0000007F error when you try to print from computers that are running Windows XP or Windows 2000 and that have GDI security update 925902 installed " -- Ernie "Alan Morris [MSFT]" wrote: The graphics security fix interferes with some print drivers GDI security patch http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935843/ Stop 0x0000007F error when you try to print from computers that are running Windows XP or Windows 2000 and that have GDI security update 925902 installed Or follow Bruce's instructions to get the spooler running, then see if Epson has an updated driver http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

Print Spooler Service will not run
Basically there was a security change to the graphic system (GDI that
performs printer rendering) which broke some print drivers. This normally just breaks rendering not the spooler service. At this point you need to get the spooler working again. The best way is to remove the Epson driver but you can't do this using the spooler service since it won't start. http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm -- Alan Morris Windows Printing Team Search the Microsoft Knowledge Base he http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;[ln];kbhowto This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
