Restart Spooler Printer Vista
  1. Restart Spooler Command
  2. Restart Printer Spooler Windows 10
  3. Restart Local Spooler

The print queue remains offline after a restart of the Spooler Service on a print server that is running Windows Vista or Windows Server 2008. Consider the following scenario: You share a printer on a print server that is running Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista.

First time poster, My apologies if this thread has been posted earlier, i have seen similar threads but have not found a resolution, windows vista home premium x32, i recently have been unable to add printers, each time i receive the same error msg- 'Windows can't open Add Printer. The local print spooler is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine.'

Restart Spooler Command

I have attempted to restart service in Admin mode through runrt click run as admin, deleted all print drivers but all attempts have been unsuccessful, all attempts end in error 5- access denied although i am the admin on the system any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance i have a canon pixma mp500 all in one printer. There's no guarantee that an 'upgrade' will fix any particular settings breakdown, mostly because the upgrade process aims to preserve what it finds in situ. It's possible to diagnose everything, but you may have to do some fairly convoluted things to get there. I'd be interested in the results of the following: - Run a CMD instance as admin (right-click the CMD shortcut, 'Run as administrator.' - Attempt to start the spooler service from there: C: Windows system32net start spooler The Print Spooler service is starting. The Print Spooler service was started successfully.

Assuming yours doesn't 'start successfully', what's the exact error message? If it's a simple 'access denied'.

Restart printer spooler windows 10

Run services.msc and check the properties of the spooler service. What account is it configured to run under? - Have you ever used Process Monitor?

If not, this is a good opportunity. You might want to download it and have a play. The aim is to generate a log of what the spoolsv.exe process does during its brief lifespan, assuming the process starts at all. Analysis of a ProcMon log may reveal the source of the 'access denied' message.

H2S04, Sorry for my delayed response. Print Spooler is in fact present when running services.msc. When attempting to start Print Spooler the following error appears; 'Windows could not start the Print Spooler service on Local Computer Error 5: Access is denied' Then when entering SC QUERYEX SPOOLER in command prompt; SERVICENAME: spooler Type 10 Win32ownprocess State 1 Stopped Win32 Exit Code 0 Service Exit Code 0 Checkpoint 0x0 Wait Hint 0x0 PID 0 Flags Thanks for your help again!! Hello I don't want to step on any toe's here, but I was reading this problem and found (in another forum) what worked for another guy. So I copied it and will paste it here.hope it helps!!

Restart Local Spooler

This is the help suggested from another page: You can try the following steps: Right click on start - Left click on explore - Go to i386 folder from C drive - search for the file spoolsv - Copy the file spoolsv and paste in C: windows system32. If you can find the file and complete these steps it should be able to be restarted. Thank you for your suggestion Kenny, I was able to locate the spoolsv.exe file in system32 folder. I did however realize i had earlier incorrectly posted that there were not any related errors in event viewer, the results are; Unable to initialize the security package Kerberos for server side authentication. The data field contains the error number.

The Print Spooler service failed to start due to the following error: Access is denied. The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it. These 3 errors seem to appear regularly.
