have a printer that won't print all of sudden. When I was called toinvestigate I received this message when trying to start the servicefor 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 thesoftware wouldnt install because of the spooler problem. This is thefirst time I've come across this problem, any ideas? I almost forgotthat I cleaned up the adware problem then tried again with no luck. Iran 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?
