Could Not Start Print Spooler Error 2
ago and I have not been able to print since. I had a Canon MP780 printer already installed but the printer portion of it stopped working, though the scanning portion of it still works. I tried to install the Windows 7 drivers for HP Photosmart C4400 but the keep telling me that there is an error with my printer spooler. I have gone into
Print Spooler Error 2 Vista
the spooler properties and everything looks set up right but when I try to manually start it I receive the same message. I am just looking for a fix so that I can print. I don't care how the fix occurs or if I use another program as long as it doesn't effect the rest of my computer and I don't have to pay an arm and leg for a simple fix like Dell and Microsoft want me to do.

or using the Microsoft Printer Troubleshooter Fix-It may turn out to be futile, showing up one of print spooler not running error the following errors:Windows could not start the Print Spooler service on Local Computer.Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.-or-Windows could not start the Print Spooler https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/186dc55d-b423-4624-808c-07f1f177fb83/printer-spooler-error-2the-system-cannot-find-the-file-specified?forum=itprovistahardware 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 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 http://www.winhelponline.com/blog/print-spooler-service-error-2-error-3-windows-7/ 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:%SystemRoot%\System32\spoolsv.exeRegistry Fix for Print Spooler serviceIf you prefer running a REG fix rather than editing the registry manually, then download W7_Spooler_Svc.zip. Unzip and run the enclosed REG file. This restores the default registry settings for the Print Spooler service in Windows 7, 8 and 8.1. For Windows 10, download the registry file W10_Spooler_Svc.zip.Share twe highly recommend that you visit our Guide for New Members.

Advertisement Palladia-Mors Thread Starter Joined: Apr 16, 2008 Messages: 211 Hello, I am trying to install my new Canon Pixma MP 330 printer, and cannot install its software because of this error: "Processing cannot be continued because the Print Spooler print spooler Service has been stopped." It told me to restart so I restarted, which did not start the Print Spooler. I went to manage services and tried to start the Print Spooler, where it gave me "Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified." I looked up its properties, where I found that it is set to Automatic. The print spooler error Print Spooler depends on Remote Procedure Call (RPC), and hpdj00 depends on the Print Spooler. HP deskjet 5700 series was my old printer. I already uninstalled all of the HP Deskjet and Officejet software using its uninstallers, and I force uninstalled it all again using RevoProUninstaller. After the uninstalling and restarting, I still cannot start the Print Spooler, and continue to see the hpdj00 dependency and Error 2. I can think of two possible explanations: 1. In uninstalling the HP printer software and deleting the leftover folders, I accidentally deleted a Print Spooler file that I need. Everything can be reinstalled from the HP CD or restored from the recycle bin, so this should be reversible. 2. Some piece of HP printer software is STILL on my computer, disabling the Print Spooler. I have an HP Pavillion a1101n, Windows XP Home SP3. The HP printer programs I uninstalled are: HP PSC & OfficeJet 4.7 HP Deskjet 5700 Series HP Deskjet Printer Preload Thank you!
