Endure for a year, every time problems have to restart the system, and sometimes restart after all normal, and sometimes restart after the useless, often in Word 2010 in a Select font, Word collapsed, and found that at the same time the entire system you can not get to the printer list.
Check the information, there is no good solution, tried many methods, can not be used: There are 3 main reasons:
1. Some invalid fonts are installed in the system, or the fonts are corrupted. Check what kind of clutter you have installed in your system, and delete it (with caution, deleting the wrong one will affect the display of system characters);
2. When installing the font, do not be lazy to copy the entire Fonts folder directly from someone else's computer. Prone to problems.
3. Focus on this: Quit all programs (especially the Office suite and the software with font options such as PS) to open the Windows Run dialog box (shortcut key Ctrl+r). Enter Services.msc Point run, find "Print Spooler" service, see if it is running automatically, have no boot, if not run automatically, set to run automatically if not started, set to start, then try restarting the service multiple times, then open "Control Panel" -"Hardware and sound-" device and printer, see if you can list, if it is still blank, please close the Control Panel window, re-operation, if you can see some hardware after entering, but do not see the list of printers, please wait a while, and then refresh a few times, you should be able to refresh the printer. This time you re-enter word, you will find word font can also be selected, the printer can also be used.
This problem is really painful.
Another situation is that you do not share the printer okay, as long as a shared printer, the print Sploor process is easy to die. In this case, it is said that you can try to modify the registry (but after my test proved invalid)
Location: Hkey_local_machine/system/currentcontrolset/services/spooler, find DependOnService, click Modify, if the value is not RPCSS, please modify it to RPCSS. (Please remember before the backup value, if there are other new occurrences, please change back).
Also, if you really want to share the printer, now with network printing network printer is really better than buy a printer without network features to be affordable, there is a single print server as far as possible (do not install too many messy software, the server, it should not be used as a universal machine, who knows which software will conflict?). )
There is a separate hardware print server, you can choose, the advantages are power saving, small, wired and wireless, you can have a dedicated network print server with more than one printer, the disadvantage is more expensive, some printers are incompatible, to ask clear before purchasing.
