Print Spooler not active - how to activate
Restarting your computer should active the print spooler again.
------
Another possible fix for this problem if restarting the computer does not help is to download and run this program.

Relist: Inaccurate answer.start print spooler
To start the print spooler, you open a command prompt.
Click on start, type CMD in the search box at the bottom. Right click on cmd.exe in the results and choose run as administrator.
In the black command prompt window, type NET START SPOOLER
and press enter.
Or...Your print spooler should start automatically when you boot your computer. That is why I suggested a reboot. The tool I suggested you to download is a script that stops the spooler, fixes a possible problem with print spooler dependencies, clears any stuck print jobs and then starts the spooler again.
If you are doing all these suggestions and the print spooler will not start, then you likely have a corrupt print driver or in the worst case a corruption in your windows installation.
Spooler still does not work - I'm getting only untitled pages to wait or kill
Payment is already pending on my bank balance and I have not gotten a solution
You place a deposit when you ask a question, if you accept it releases the deposit or if you are not satisfied you can ask for a refund of the deposit.
Were you able to open the command prompt as administrator?
Do you get an error when you type net start spooler ?
Did you run the PrintFlush.bat file?
no command prompt came up. no net start spooler. Yes I ran the PrintFlush.bat file and it did not work
Please go to start -> programs -> accessories and see if you can locate the command prompt shortcut there. Right click on it and choose run as administrator.
This will open a black window with a cursor.
Please type net start spooler
and let me know what it says.
That is the command to start your print spooler.
this spooler cannot be started in safe mode
Is your computer in safe mode? When you first turned it on, does it give you a startup menu that says boot to safe mode, or does it show safe mode anywhere on the desktop screen?
says boot to safe mode
Okay, restart your computer and choose the option to boot windows normally, or it may do that automatically. If it will not boot to normal windows startup then you might have bigger problems than just the print spooler.
after rebooting it comes directly to the welcome center
