  1. Print spooler won't stay automatic start


    After the last Windows update my print spooler is not working, therefore unable to print adobe documents. Tried reinstalling the HP Office Jet 4652 but only worked for 1 day as the default printer and now states install a printer. I am a novice so the regedit is scary. Is there another way?

    :)

  2. Must restart Spooler to print

    Have you set the Print Spooler server to Automatic? If you haven't, then let's do it. Follow the steps below:

    • Open Services through the search box.
    • Locate Print Spooler service and double click it.
    • Once the Print Spooler Properties window is open, look for Startup type and set is to
      Automatic.
    • Check also the Service status and make sure that it is set to Started.
    • Click Apply, then OK.

    In case there are other printers installed on your PC that you no longer use, we suggest that you uninstall it as it may also cause some issues with Print Spooler.

    Looking forward to your reply.

    Regards
