I am trying to print. No problems until today. When I attempt to print, message pops up, "Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer. Do you want to install a printer now?" (Yes or No) When I choose Yes message pops up, "Operation could not be completed. The Print Spooler Service is not running." (OK) It goes no farther. How can I clear this up? I did a restore and nothing changed. I have searched on the HELP pages to no avail. Can you help me?
Go to Start> Control Panel> Performance and Maintenance> Administrative Tools> double click Services> scroll down to Print Services> right click and select properties> on startup button, select automatic on the drop down and click apply. This will start the service automatically.
It does not work for me.
'Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified' - when I try to start the spooler service.
Help me, yo!
