Printer spooler error

[Nig]

Whilst I appreciate your reply Stan, it is somewhat akin to gloating that
you are superior.
Whilst I am sure that you are more than able to argue your point to the Nth
degree, there are I am sure many others who would disagree.
I do not really have a point of view.
What I have, I have to deal with, it is too late to start wishing I had
different equipment. I have a problem, I have asked for advice. There is
little point arguing whether 64 bit is worse than 32 bit as is the AMD Intel
argument.

The best advice you give is to wait until someone with knowledge of the
problem suggests a solution.

Hi,

Go to Start / Run and type in "services.msc" without quotation marks, then press Enter or click OK.

In the window that opens (Services) look for "Print Spooler" on the right

Right-click "Print Spooler" and select "Properties".

Click on the "Recovery" tab and change all 3 drop-down boxes to "Restart The Service".

Make sure the 2 text boxes underneath say "1" in them.

Click Ok until you are back at the Services window, close it and you're good to go.

Go back into the properties of the "Print Spooler" tab and be sure to click Start to restart the Print Spooler service and it will restart the service immediately.

The Print spooler depends on the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service. Is this service disabled? Go to services.msc look for RPC. Check state: Automatic
