jbigham Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Greetings all!All of a sudden I can not print anymore. My hp printer and my acrobat printer/distiller is gone.I have tried to open a Command Window and type in net start spooler. It tells me that print spooler service is starting and that it was started successfully. Now I go back to CP and to Printers and it gives me the same error!I have also check in the computer management area and the setting is automatic for the spooler.I have also used the windows resource tool kit to help solve the problem and it too has failed.Spoolsv.exe doesn't show up in my process's running list either!I need help! So if anyone can help I would be very greatful!Thanks,Jason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shanenin Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 is the "Remote Procedure Call (RPC)" service running. That service is a dependency to "print spooler" service Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sethook Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 You should be able to start the Spooler service by typing net start spooler in the Run dialog box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
