Windows 10: Print driver Conflict With Print Spooler

After the March 1, 2019 updates to Windows 10 my printer driver is in conflict with the print spooler, at least I think that is what I think is happening. I have uninstalled my printer and tried to reinstall it but Windows will not install the driver due to a conflict. What can I do short of having to buy a new printer? I checked the manufacturer's website and I have the latest drivers. Will Microsoft be coming out with a fix? Are others having this problem?

Documents Disappear in Print Spooler before printing

Hi David,

There are different factors that can contribute as to why you're not able to print documents on a wireless printer that other computer can use to print. This could be caused by outdated device drivers or the
print spooler that temporarily stores print jobs on the computer needs to be reset

Since you are still not able to print documents after you completing different troubleshooting steps, we suggest that you follow the steps to

clear and reset the print spooler to resolve your concern. This will allow you to restart the
print spooler service that manages the printing process in your computer.

We look forward to your response after you complete the steps.

Hi harley707. I'm here to help.

Try these steps. (I will leave a link to the video I found these steps in at the bottom of this reply. The website is not a Microsoft website.)

1. Right-click the lower left corner of the computer screen to open the menu.

2. Click Search and type "services" and press "View local services".

3. Scroll down the list until you find "Print Spooler".

4. Right click "Print Spooler" and press Restart.

The Print Spooler will restart.

If your printer spooler will not restart, you might have to restart your computer.
