have a printer that won't print all of sudden. When I was called to
investigate I received this message when trying to start the service
for the print spooler which is already on automatic(spoolsv.exe).
"COULD NOT START THE PRINT SPOOLER SERVICE ON LOCAL COMPUTER. ERROR 2.
THE SYSTEM CANNOT FIND THE FILE SPECIFIED".
I uninstalled all printer drivers and software and reinstalled but the
software wouldnt install because of the spooler problem. This is the
first time I've come across this problem, any ideas? I almost forgot
that I cleaned up the adware problem then tried again with no luck.
I ran sc query spooler
Type: 110 win32_own_process (interaction)
state:1 stopped
<not_stoppable, not_pausable, ignores_shutdown>
win32_exit_code: 0 <0x0>
services_exit_code: 0 <0x0>
checkpoint: 0x0
wait_hint:0x0
Anyone have a suggestion?
