Windows spooler service is also one of the major problem from the wide list of Microsoft Windows errors. Windows spooler error is mainly occurs when we have given any command and in the middle of the process we have to delete it. Though there are chances that it completes successfully but in some cases the whole process dumped in the memory thus preventing spooler subsystem to start, which results in error as “Spooler subsystem app has encountered a problem and needs to close”.In some cases it also displayed as “Windows cannot connect to the printer. the local print spooler service is not running. please restart the spooler or restart the machine.”
So let me first tell you what a Print spooling is? In Print Spooling documents gets loaded into a buffer that is usually an area on the disk and the printer uses them from the buffer at its own rate. Spooling also lets users place a number of print jobs in a queue instead of waiting for each one to finish before specifying the next one.
So is not there any solution to fix this problem? Ofcourse there are ways to flush out these buffer memories but you have to follow out the procedures mentioned below:
1. To fix out this problem first you need to stop the print spooler service running in the memory. From the run windows (windows+r) type in text box the following command given
net stop spooler
2.Now the next you have to enter will configure the spooler service being stopped (It is very important step if you are using lexmark printers but in any way you have to use it as it also work for any third party printers) Cpoy and the paste the below command in the run window
sc config spooler depend= RPCSS
3. Now flushes out all the spooled document that has been saved in the memory with the following command
del /Q /F /S “%systemroot%\System32\Spool\Printers\*.*”
4. And the last one start again the print spooler service
net start spooler
I have already used this utility several times and everytime i have found it working perfectly hope this will also work for you enjoy…
