Windows 10: Where are the services for print spooler dependencies located?

TL;DRI want to start the print spooler service. Microsoft services tells me the dependencies for it are RPC two services and something called HTTP, and something called MsQuic. When I look in the list of Services neither HTTP nor MsQuic is listed. What are those services and how do i start them?I am beyond frustrated. This all started because I have the well-known years-old problem of 100% disk utilization Microsoft fix it already! I decided to start in safe mode with networking and slowly add in services until I hit the 100% disk problem again. Naturally, the first service I want to sta

HTTP dependency for print spooler

I'm using Windows 10 and lost print capability with my Epson XP-810 printer following an automatic update that occurred overnight on 26 September. I went into services and right clicked on print spooler and checked on dependencies. RPC and HTTP were
listed. I started RPC, set it for automatic and went looking for HTTP. HTTP was not listed so I'm unable to start the print spooler. I went through this process about a year ago and had no problem as the HTTP service was listed but it's no longer there.
How can I restore the HTTP function?

 

Issue after installation with print spooler

Hello,

Thank you for keeping us posted.

I certainly understand your concern and will try my best to help you.

I really appreciate all your efforts in trying to fix this issue.

I would suggest you to try the steps given below and check if that helps.

Note: All the steps mentioned below holds good for windows 10 as well.

If print spooler keeps stopping in Windows 8.1,
I would suggest to follow the steps given below.

• 
  If the print spooler is not responding to your print commands and print is not happening when printer is fine physically (No paper jam or any error indications on printer hardware). These methods will help
  to clear the pending print jobs (print queue) and hanging spooler service.
  
• 
  Clear the print spooler files where the Operating Systems store printing jobs temporarily, deleting these file will allow the print spooler to start freshly and run smoothly next time.
  
• 
  Go to C -> Windows -> System32 -> Spool -> Printers and delete all files inside this folder. This is the location OS keeps the printing jobs before sending
  to printers. Once you delete these files, print queue will be cleared. The same location is applicable for latest Windows 8 and 8.1 too.
  

If the problem persists, follow the steps given below.

• 
  Go to services under Computer Management.
  
• 
  Double click Print Spooler service and go to
  Recovery tab. Here we can set what that service should do when it fails.
  
• 
  Select ‘Restart the Service’ in Subsequent Failures field. So, it will try restarting print spooler service whenever it fails.
  
• 
  Go to ‘Dependencies’
  tab and make sure all depending services are started. Luckily, only one dependency service for print spooler service which is
  Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service.
  
• 
  Check the RPC service in services and make sure it’s already started.
  

If the issue still persists, the last step would be to check for the printer drivers. If the printer drivers are not installed properly, I would suggest you to follow the steps given below and check if that helps.

• 
  Delete all unwanted printers from your computer.
  
• 
  Make sure all printers are installed with proper drivers.

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
