  2. Printer unable to queue spool


    I'm trying myself crazier. I've uninstalled all printers, plugged in my hp 8000 809a let it install it, rebooted but windows can not queue the spool. The HP drivers can easily talk to the printer and print out test pages, I can configure wireless and print from my android phone, I can print wirelessly from my win8.1 laptop but this win10 desktop refuses to spool a print.

    Is it really stuck and need to stop the service and reset it even if I have already done 3 or 5 reboots? I am starting to think this is more a registry issue since there are not files in the spool folder....

    Print Spooler Service Stopping


    I followed the steps you listed. When I opened C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS, it was empty.

    Print Spooling Issue

    Hi Beth,

    An incompatible printer is one of the possible causes why it does not print with your Windows 10 device. We'll not include the steps you have done which are: Starting and stopping the spooling. Deleted items from print folder. Ran 3 different virus scans.
    Reinstalled 4 times. Have updated drivers. I even set up printer as non wireless (with cable).

    To troubleshoot your concern, kindly follow these steps:

    • Use the Microsoft easy fix tool. Select Troubleshoot problems with devices and printers
      You may refer to this
      link
      . Simply run the file and follow the instructions in the Troubleshooting wizard.
    • Download the latest driver directly from the OEM/manufacturer’s site.
    • Clear print queue. Run an elevated command prompt and type the following commands in succeeding order:

      net stop spooler (press Enter)

      del %systemroot%\System32\spool\printers\* /Q (press Enter)

      net start spooler (press Enter)
    • Roll back to a previous driver. Go to Device Manager> Print queues> Select your printer> Right click> Properties> Driver> Roll back.
    • Edit registry. Note: You need to a backup file first before proceeding to the steps.
      Navigate to the ff. registry key:

      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows x64\Print Processors
    • Delete all the driver keys for existing printers, scanners, etc except for winprint.
    • Restart your system. Proceed with the usual re-installation of latest printer drivers and see if it makes any difference.

    If the issue still persists, please contact the printer manufacturer for better assistance.

    Should you need further help, please let us know.
