Print Spooler Problems
 |
I am having a problem with my print spooler not staying automatic even though auto is selected. Every time I want to print, I have to manually restart the spooler. It does not matter what program I am trying to print from or even what printer I am using. Any ideas?

Is this on the server or local to your pc?
*Voted best profile in the world*
Local to the PC, there is a document stuck in the queue I can not get to go away. I have rebooted the computer, cancel all jobs, uninstalled and re-installed the printer. Really weird lol

Go Start, Run, and enter ..
services.msc
Scroll down to Print Spooler and ensure that Startup Type is Automatic. If not, rclick Print Spooler, > Properties and select Automatic in the drop down menu.

Deep, deep in the woods, but walking about.

Okay, now that you know your way around Services, go back in there and Stop the Print Spooler.
Navigate to C:/windows/system32/spool/printers and delete any documents listed there, and then back to Services and reset to Automatic.
Should do the job.

I already said that in post 3.
I am thinking it has something to do with the printer and vista? It is a HP 1020.
