Hey everyone. Yesterday I tried to print a document and got an error that there were no printers installed. I checked and all three of my printers were uninstalled somehow...
I tried going to My Computer > Manage > Services and Applications > Services > and starting 'Print Spooler' but got the error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start.
From that point on, I have no ideas as to how to solve this problem. Please help =(
I can't add a printer. The process doesn't even start.
I had Samsung CLP-315 and another Dell and Epson. Right now all i really need is the samsung. I downloaded the driver from the samsung website and kaspersky detected it as a high threat when I ran it, so I decided against continuing it. Also I realized that my disk space has been going between 1.32 gb to 1.5 gb even after i delete spacious programs.
If the driver you got is from the samsung website then turn off kaspersky or allow it to install......in-fact it will tell you that somewhere for some printer drivers
As kaspersky doesn't like the driver then I would turn kaspersky off and install the driver and restart the PC and make sure kaspersky is still turned off and see
1) Go to c:\windows\system32\spool\printers
make sure hidden files are enabled and delete anything in there. Then try starting the spooler service.
2) Otherwise open up the printer and faxes folder, file, server properties, drivers, remove all the print drivers. The service should then start but you will need to reinstall all of your printers.
