Guest Mike Posted August 14, 2007 Posted August 14, 2007 When I try to load print drivers on a new laptop it says it cannot load because the print spooler is not started. I went into services and double clicked the print spooler. It is set to automatic but the start and stop buttons randomly turn on back and forth. Tried manual the same start/stop issue.

What happen if you open a run command , type in: NET STOP SPOOLER Reboot your machine, then on the run command enter this: NET START SPOOLER Hit F5 to refresh and see if that will help. What the make of your printer and does compatible with the OS and the hardware of your laptop?. HTH. nass

Guest Mike Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 RE: Print Spooler Tried the net start net stop. No change. If you go to Services and double click print spooler the Start button will go on then the stop button will go on. It just bounces back and forth.

Guest nass Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 RE: Print Spooler Hi Mike, Read through these links and see what option will work for you: The driver installation failed. I cannot uninstall or reinstall the driver on my Windows® XP PC. http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/BSC/public/eu/gb/en/faq/faq/000000/000100/000003/faq000103_000.html?reg=eu&c=gb&lang=en&prod=hl5050_all&Cat=2 http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=it+cannot+load+because+the+print+spooler+is+not+started&btnG=Search&meta= HTH. nass "Mike" wrote: > Tried the net start net stop.

Guest Mike Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 RE: Print Spooler Thanks nass, I will try that. The last time I installed the print driver it did not show up in the printers folder. However it did show up in Add/Remove programs. At one time this printer was shared off another computer but printing was inconsistent. Funny it would network but not install direct.
