Spooler sub system

[Guest]

This morning while trying to print a document I received the following
message:"Spooler sub system app has stopped working"When I went to
printers,there are none listed(I have 2)I have no idea where this application
is located,I looked in config file but didnt see it.I assume that is why no
printer is shown.I had updated new drivers for both printers and both were
working Thurs.I did a restore point to 36 hours ago with no luck,and windows
updated are set to auto Could someone inform me what to do.
Thank you

Click on the Start button and type Services in the Start Search box.
In the Services window, scroll down to "Print Spooler". Right-click
on it and select Properties and then Stop. Set the service to Automatic
and then Start the service.
