Running on Windows XP Pro SP3
Seems the spool service on one computer isn’t working. It’s using an old HP LaserJet 1020 printer. It’s properly installed on the computer and the printer itself has no problem and it was working fine on the computer unit and also with the other people connecting to the printer from the network. But just a few days later, the computer brings up a message after startup which says “Error the Print Spooler service has stopped.” and since then, no one could print, not even the unit itself where the printer is installed could print.
Is there a way to repair the Spool Service? I’ve read a few articles about how to fix the spoolsv.exe but it’s still not working, the spool service doesn’t run automatically when you startup the system and you would need to get into Command Prompt and type the spool start command (net start spooler). But even doing that, the spool service shows up the same error warning.
Any suggestions? Can the spool service be reinstalled or something?
