 Post subject: Print Spooler Service Will Not Start! FIX by Josh
PostPosted: Tue Apr 29, 2008 1:30 pm 
I came across an interesting problem where on one of my Windows 2003 Server's Print Spooler refused to start, well after hunting and searching I finally resolved it pain the backside mind. I had several printers installed on the server and since trying to install drivers for the DELL 3110cn it basically killed all of them they disappeared the print spooler worked and then stoped all sorts of issues!!!!!.

Fix Look in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print

Look mainly in Printers and Monitors delete all references to the printer that is playing up.

Next go to C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86 and delete all refernces again to the printer that is playing up.

Restart Print Spooler and hey presto! You still have your old printers well sorta and the printer that was playing up has gone!

Hope this helps someone out there as it bugged me for a while.
