Re: Print Spooler

From: "C. Moore" <CMoore@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

| Sir
|
| I ran "services.msc" as you suggested, got the window, moved down to print
| spooler, and there was nothing to the right of the title entry. I did notice
| several other entries had "started" next to their title.
|
| I then noticed in the left pane, I could click on "start service" (or some
| words like that). So. I clicked it and got teh following error message.
| "Could not start the Print Spooler service on local computer. Error 1068.
| The dependency servive or group failed to start."
|
| I hope this tells you something as I'm baffled.
|
| The other respondant asked if this was the only printer installed on this
| machine. There are no printers installed. This is our road notebook and has
| never had a printer installed. One time when I had it connected to my home
| network, Windows tried to install the desk top Lexmark printer that is
| connected to the desk top. I stopped teh install and then removed it.
|
| Thanks for any help you might offer.

That's why 'Net Start Spooler', which is the command line method to start the service,
failed to help.

Using the SERVICES.MSC gives you a GUI so you can see if its state. Its state was not
started becuse ir requires proper operation of the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) which the
spooler service is dependent upon.

Again Using SERVICES.MSC scroll down to 'Remote Procedure Call (RPC)' and determine its
state. If it is not started, start it.

Does it start ?
BTW: Both services should be started automatically.
