Running the Printer Troubleshooter may print spooler error 1053 show that the Print Spooler service isn't running, and print spooler error 1067 the process terminated unexpectedly attempts to start the Print Spooler service manually via Services MMC or using the print spooler error windows 8 Microsoft Printer Troubleshooter Fix-It may turn out to be futile, showing up one of the following errors:Windows could not start the Print Spooler service http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-update/error-2-spooler-not-runningcant-print/066291f3-1cc4-43a1-9254-023f84729bf0 on Local Computer.Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.-or-Windows could not start the Print Spooler service on Local Computer.Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified. Obviously the first thing the user did was to run the Printer Troubleshooter Fix-It, and it did determine http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/print-spooler-service-error-2-error-3-windows-7/ Spooler service wasn't running, but was unable to fix it.There could be two possible causes for this error. 1) Spooler service registry settings are incorrect and/or 2) Some spooler modules missing (which SFC /Scannow could fix). First I had the user send me the Spooler service registry settings, and it showed:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Spooler

In case the ImagePath value exists but contains incorrect data (pointing to a non-existent file), it results in "Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified." when starting the Spooler service.The problem was resolved by creating a value named ImagePath (of type REG_EXPAND_SZ) and setting it the following value data:%Systemup saying something like, http://outwardtruth.com/SUPPORT/printspoolererror2.htm there's no printer available and or install printer drivers and software. Uninstalling and reinstalling the software drivers fail to complete. Further research shows me that the Print Spooler is stopped in the Computer Management/Service console. When I attempt to start the print spooler print spooler service, the following error message pops up: "Could not start the Print Spooler service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified." Cause Missing Print Spooler File The missing file is the "spoolsv.exe" and should be located in the print spooler error following location: C:\WINDOWS\system32 There are three options you can consider. The first is to copy the spoolsv.exe from a Windows XP CD and paste it in the following directory: C:\WINDOWS\system32 The second option is to simply copy it from another Windows XP computer and paste that file in the following location: C:\WINDOWS\system32 The third option is to simply download the file from this website, simply click the link spoolsv.exe Once the above is complete, the service must be started right click my computer, click manage, on the left click services and applications, click services. on the right side, look for print spooler, double left click on it, select start, close the system services window. That's it, you should be able to print now. © copyright 1999 Outwardtruth
