Windows 10: Print Spooler keeps stopping Windows 8.1

Using Windows 8.1, when I try to print from Chrome, OpenOffice or Acrobat Reader, nothing is printed, and I discover the print spooler is not running. . When I right click my printer icon and select troubleshoot, it says it fixes the spooler. But when I try to print again, it still won't print and when I check the print spooler service it is not running again. The print spooler service is dependent on 2 other services, but they are fine too; and Recovery is set to restart the service if failed I can still print from my mobile phone since my HP Laserjet Pro M148 is on my Wifi network.

Print Spooler Service Stopping

Drugged up on Pain Med's, exhausted from barely any sleep for four days and trying to type on a iPhnone. The USB driver and queue can end up stalling. Have you checked the print queue to see if there are jobs stalled or in the Print Spooler folder? Also grab the Process Explorer by Sysinternals from Microsoft.com. It will allow you to see the Sub Process, especially under the System process. See the following:

Clear Printer Spooler Files

• Click Start, type Services.msc in Search box or Click WIN+Q, type “Services.msc” in the open box.
• Services can be found under Computer Management on older operation system (Windows XP)
• Double-click Printer Spooler in the list.
• Click Stop and click OK.
• Open C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS.

I cannot find the tutorial, this is a more extensive way to check Print spooler stopping automatically on Windows 10, Windows 8 and 8.1 windowstricks.in
