What to do if the printer daemon service is not running

Users sometimes experience this problem when they install a print product by prompting the printer daemon service not to run, or by prompting the "spooler subsystem application has stopped working and shutting down" when the computer adds the printer. Let's go over the reasons why the system prompts "The printer daemon service is not running" and how to fix it.

When you add a printer or use a printer, the system error "The Print Spooler service is not running" occurs because of system instability that causes the system to support printer services that cannot be enabled. The Print Spooler service is a service for Windows 2000, XP, and 2003 systems that support printers, all of which are required for printer-related operations within the system. The user prompts the spooler subsystem application to stop working and close when printing with the printer. This error is due to the fact that the Print Spooler service cannot be completed, just clear all the files in the C:windowssystem32spoolprinters directory.

　　Option one: The Print Spooler service does not end the problem

Sometimes when we print out a file, we might run into a situation is that the file is already printed, but the print queue also has a print-saved item, so if we print another file, what should we do now that we have a file that needs to be printed before the queue and the subsequent files will not print?

The user can run into the C:windowssystem32spoolprinters folder, cancel the read-only property of the print background file, and then remove the background file from the%systemroot%system32spoolprinters folder. Can.

　　Option two: Printer service issues

In some cases, the user will encounter a slow printing speed, or file delivery delay problem, there may be a problem with the printer service, the user can use the following simple action to modify this problem.

On the desktop, select My Computer. Right-click to select Manage; In the Administration window, select the Services option under the Services and Applications extension project, find the "Printspooler" service in the list of system services on the right, and double-click the "Print Spooler" service setting;

In the Print Spooler Service Settings window, set Startup type to Automatic, click the Start button, and the system will attempt to start the service;

When the service starts successfully, the service status appears as started, re-add or use other actions of the printer, or open the printer item in Control Panel, right-click on the advanced printer properties, and change the spool to print directly.

　　Option three: Printer driver issues

When you first install a print product driver, although the user may have installed the print driver, but can not print normally, this may be due to the printing product driver in the installation of inadvertently problems occur, users can start > printer to remove the original printer, and then add 1 times, indeed not, Reinstall this drive 1 times. But sometimes the following conditions occur.

1. See if Spoolsv.exe is deleted as a virus?

2. The user can pull up Task Manager through Ctrl+alt+delete, see "process", if deleted, please add.

　　Solution Four: Virus causes run program error

The virus is the computer has the software to be able to avoid, has the virus to have the damage and the loss, if the virus infects one of the printing program's file, then can cause the computer to prompt the user "The printer Daemon service not to run", thus causes the user not to print the file normally.

1. The user can open Registry Editor (RegEdt32.exe) in run.

2. Navigate to and delete the following key from the registry: hkey_local_machinesystemcontrolset001 Controlprintprinters

After the virus cleared your SPOOLSV. EXE file is not, and in the service of your background printing printspooler can not start, of course, the printer can not run, in the running of the "services.msc" in the "Print spooler" service in the "General" item in the "Executable path" Also becomes unavailable, such as startup will display "Error 3: Unable to find system path" error, because your registry dependencies have also been deleted (when the virus is cleared above).

　　Workaround One:

1: In the installation of CD-ROM I386 directory to copy the Spoolsv.ex_ file to the SYSTEM32 directory under the name of Spoolsv.exe, of course, can also be in other people's system to the file, can also use Nt/xp File Protection function, That is, in the operation of typing cmd after opening the dialog box input Sfc/scannow Comprehensive repair, anyway, you can restore the file on it.

2: Modify the registry, under [Hkey_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetservices Spooler] Add a "imagepath" = " C:windowssystem32spoolsv.exe "on it, and then open to see, your printing can be used!"

　　Workaround Two:

1, in the service will "Print Spooler" stop.

2, the "c:windowssystem32spoolprints" under the deletion of all the files (because there is no virus in the computer, this folder is empty).

3. Finally, the "Print Spooler" service will be opened.

If you do not start the Print Spooler service after you follow the steps above, or perform a printer operation The times are still wrong, most of the problems related to the operating system's important files, try to check the virus after the computer and then try again; there are still problems, it is recommended that after important files are backed up, reinstall
