    "Print Spooler Service Not Running"
    I have a problem with printer. All of a sudden printer has disappeared and when I tried to add printer, I keep getting message "Print spooler service not running"

    I have tried to restore to a previous date as well as tried to restart the print spooler service but I am getting Error 2 message.

    Any ideas how to get this going.

    Thanks, Pete

    Go to start, run and type services.msc

    -go down list till you get to print spooler and right click on it and choose properties

    Make sure it is set to Automatic and click the start button and click apply at bottom

    Close services and try again

    Type "msconfig" (without quotes) in Run,
    In that go to "Services" tab
    In that tab look out "Print Spooler" option in the list given by that services tab.
    See whether print spooler option has been enabled or not.
    If not, then enable that option and reboot your machine.
