Using windows xp. can not get any of my printers to work until I can get the print spooler service to start.
What error message do you get, if it just says the service isn't started then go press with windows key and the r key at the same time. in the run box type services.msc and press enter. scroll down the list until you find print spooler service and right click and click start service, and make sure it's set to automatic.

Testimonial: "already tried this. my final solution was to reinstall everything like it was right out of the box. the problem had to do with previously installing a lexmark printer. upon installing any kind of lexmark printer, it installs a file named "lexbce" and this can not be removed for some reason. I tried this theory on three different computers. to anyone reading this, word of caution on lexmark printers, unless you find a better solution, this will happen to yours as well. "
have you uninstalled all the lexmark drivers from your computer? if not, please do so and uninstall any software for printers that are no longer in use. The problem may be that you have multiple programs trying to access the service, or it could be that when you uninstalled one of the printers it took whatever service dependency with it. i'd remove any old printer drivers and reinstall the drivers for the current printer.
if you have time, and are in front of the computer, please download teamviewer here: http://www.teamviewer.com/download/versi... email me with your partner ID and password [email protected]. I'll remote in and see if i can solve the issue :)
actually before you take the time to download teamviewer try this:
1. go to command prompt
2. type "sc config spooler depend= RPCSS start= Auto"
note: the space between = and RPCSS/ = and Auto are very important or this will not work.
3. type "net start spooler" no quotes

Try this:
1. Power off the printer
2. After re-boot: click start, control panel, printers & faxes and delete the printer.
3. Re-install the printer with the original driver disc.
There are many suggested solutions to spool problems but try this first. If this does not work we'll go to the other solutions.

when I try to start the service, I get error 1068 dependency service or group failed to start. I believe it has something to do with "lexbce". Years ago I had a lexmark all-in-one running on this computer and my toshiba satellite. It may have something to do with what may be in the printer memory. I don't know. To date nothing I have tried has worked. Looking for a solution.
all printers and drivers have been removed. I have checked everything in windows for drivers and fragments of driver files and found nothing. simply can not install a different printer until I can get the print spooler to work.
