Click on "Start, Run", type "services.msc"

On the right side of the services window, scroll down to "Print Spooler". Double-click it.

If startup type is "disabled", click the drop-down and set to "Automatic" and then click "Start". If already on automatic, click "Stop" to stop the service. Once stopped, click "Start" to restart the service.

Reboot and try again :)

Hope this helps - remember to rate!

  2. Log on as any Windows user that has 'administrator' privileges.
  3. Open your 'Services' console [Start button > Run... > type "services.msc" (without quotes), then hit 'Enter'].
  4. Locate, then open "Print Spooler" [double-click it OR right-click it, then choose "Properties" from the context menu].
  5. Modify the settings on the "General", "Log On", and "Recovery" tabs according to the following images.
