    Print Spooler Service Not Running

    Hello,

    We can offer a few troubleshooting steps related to this issue and see which helps. First, check if you can
    update your drivers, restart your PC after the update and see how it goes.

    Another step that we can try is to check if there are print queues left on your printer spooler folder. Here are the steps:

    • Press the Windows key + R to launch the Run
      dialog.
    • Type services.msc and hit the Enter key.
    • Find the Print Spooler services, right-click and select
      Stop.
    • Leave the services window open and launch the Run dialog once again.
    • Type %systemroot%\System32\spool\printers\
    • Hit the Enter key.
    • Check if the folder is empty. If otherwise, delete all files.
    • Go back to step 3, right-click and select Start.
    • Restart your PC.
    Keep us posted and let us know the outcome.

  4. The Print Spooler Service is not running in Windows 10

    print spooler is not running".

    Prior to installing the Windows 10 upgrade my printers (Lexmark X5470 and Canon MG 5520) worked great. Now neither will print, copy, or scan as I receive a message the "print spooler is not running". I went into services, view local services and restarted
    the spooler numerous time, but after each restart, I receive another message "the print spooler is not running". I have downloaded the current software and drivers for the printers, but after restarting the spooler the message still come up "the print spooler
    is not running." There are no error codes associated with the message.

    These printers are compatible with Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 Pro, but are they not compatible with Windows 10?

    Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

    Thanks
