I am trying to install my printer in my pc but whenever I try to do so a message is displayed on the screen to turn on the print spooler. I have tried to restart My pc several times but their were no change in the error. Can anyone plz help me.
Answer:
This is done via the Services screen. Easiest way is go to CONTROL PANEL via the Begin Menu then click the ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS icon and choose SERVICES. You will see a long list. Scroll down the list (alphabetically ordered) until you find Print Spooler. Double click it and you will be presented with a box of options. Halfway down is a drop-down box, choose automatic and come out of the menu. Once you’ve rebooted the Print Spooler will have started. You can check this by going back into the Services menu and looking at STATUS.
In case of problems use the exact same procedure and follow the prompts to begin manually.
Answer:
One way is to right click My Computer - Manage, then on the left click on Services. Then find Print Spooler from the list, click on it then press 'Start this Service' from the left.
Alternatively you go Start - Run, type in 'cmd' then in the prompt type in 'net start spooler'.
