Print Spooler will not start

[Guest]

I have a windows Vista laptop and am trying to connect to a network printer.
I have the RPC service and Print Spooler service set to automatic, but the
print spooler service does not seem to be starting when I reboot the
computer. When I manually start it, I can print once, then it will stop
again. Any suggestions?

Faulty or corrupt drivers is the primary reason for spooler terminations.

What driver are you using anyway? If it's inbox, delete the printer and
driver and reinstall.

I have checked the mfr website. They do not have a Vista driver I can
download. It says that the driver is integrated into Vista. I have tried
deleting and re-installing, but I continue to have the problem.

What device is this for? What is the exact driver name?

Are there any other print driver you don't need that can be deleted from the
machine?

Looks like JP LaserJet 1012 Version 5.60.1604.0

I tried to run the software update on the driver page. It took me to the HP
site, but it wasn't working right.

I think I may have gotten the issue resolved. I have restarted twice now
and it seems to have connected both times. I don't know what the issue was,
but whatever it was seems to have resolved itself. Go Figure.

If it appears again, I will post to this thread.

Thanks for your help
