Where i could see the printer spooler?

I open the run command you can type: net start spooler
(You will get a message that says the print spooler service has started)
If you still have issues open the run command and type: services.msc
it will display a list, where you can find print spooler.

From there you can right-click on it and set it so it is started and runs automatically.

- type in "NET START SPOOLER" (this will restart the print spooler service)
Try to print again.

Spooling problem

The print spooler stop. This is the meaning of the message. What you can do is to restart the print spooler. Here's how:

Start >Run > type "services.msc" (w/o quotes) > click on Print Spooler.

Then you will see the word "Print Spooler" on the upper-left and you will see "Stop the service" and "Restart the service". Click on Restart the service and then close the window.

Try printing again.

Hope this helps and have a great day!

"fatal print spooler error" error message

Completely uninstall the printer driver and install again. If this does not work, there is a corruption in the windows registry or in the print spooler cache files.

For a temporary workaround, disable print spooling. But, if you do, you will need to remember to never close an application you print from until printing is actually finished.

HP print spooler problem and error 1068. Want my printer back!!!

hi! Print Spooler is actually a service for your Operating system-
Try this

Click on start and click on run
in the open box type in services.msc and your services local window should open, scroll down and look for print spooler, highlight it and do a right click and on the dropdown menu left click on stop and it will go to a process of stopping the service and then right click back and click on start. if you get an error message about print spooling or spooler, then that means you have a problem with the operating system. call or go to microsoft help and support online in that case. and RPC server unavailable error has something to do with a network printer. but i believe you setup the printer locally.
