    Lost Print Spooler
    Hi Guys! I have a Accer Aspire M1100, ser.#AM1100-U1402A Purchased in 08, while installing a printer I seem to have lost or disabled the print spooler, ( whatever the hell that is) I think it's a driver but it somehow drove right off my computer.
    How do I get it back? Every place I went on the internet said FREE DOWNLOAD but it seems to be free until I get about half way through and then they stick it to you. I guess nothing's for free on the net.
    Can you help a fellow expert out? Thanks, Tom aka speedball1

    Hi Tom,

    This is an odd one. The spooler is a Windows service, a driver reinstallation won't help this.

    I found it. I stomped around the control panel and located services and enabled print spooler. You guys are in the wrong business. Every thing on the internet cost big bucks so I contacted Acer. I figured that since I purchased their product that their techs were there to help dummys like me.
    BIG SURPRISE! They were there to help alight For $48.00 a question they were there to help.
    I wish AMHD would pay me $48 bucks a question, Then I could install that hot tub I always wanted.
    Thanks guys! I'll probably be back. Cheers, Tom

Print spooler [ 3 Answers ]

Every time I turn my computer on my print spooler is running and I have to go in to my computer and the manage area and shut it down and then go back in and start it back up every time I want to print something. Is there anyway to debug it so I don't have to do this every time?
