Fix Windows 7 Printer Spooler Error

Problem :

I have done everything that windows has asked and still can't get it to work. I have a windows 7 printer but since I can't keep the spooler running it won't let me install it. I have tried manually and using the fix  it program but all that does is restart the service and it will stop on it's own. Please help me!!!! I have to be able to print and I can't get it to print and this is driving me crazy.

Solution :

Go to Start / Run and type in "services.msc" without quotation marks, then press Enter or click OK.

In the window that opens (Services) look for "Print Spooler" on the right

Right-click "Print Spooler" and select "Properties".

Click on the "Recovery" tab and change all 3 drop-down boxes to "Restart The Service".

Make sure the 2 text boxes underneath say "1" in them.

Click Ok until you are back at the Services window, close it and you're good to go.

Go back into the properties of the "Print Spooler" tab and be sure to click Start to restart the Print Spooler service and it will restart the service immediately.

The Print spooler depends on the Remote Procedure Call (RPC) service. Is this service disabled? Go to services.msc look for RPC. Check state: Automatic
