The operating system then https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/888206 takes care of sending the print job to the printer. Here's how to configure print spooling in Windows 2000 Professional. By Jim Boyce | in Windows and Office, September 23, 2007, 5:00 PM PST RSS Comments Facebook Linkedin Twitter More Email Print Reddit Delicious Digg Pinterest Stumbleupon Google Plus Like other operating systems, Windows 2000 Professional supports print spooling. Rather than going directly to the printer, applications can print to a Windows-managed print http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/windows-and-office/configure-print-spooling-in-windows-2000-professional/ spool. The operating system then takes care of sending the print job to the printer. The advantage is that you don't have to wait for the document to finish printing before resuming use of the application. As far as the application is concerned, once the document is in the spool, it's printed, allowing the app to go on about its business. For most people, the default settings for print spooling work just fine. In some cases, though, you might need to tweak the settings or turn off spooling. Spool settings are configured on a per-printer basis. Here's how to configure print spooling: 1. Open the Printers folder and right-click the printer in question. 2. Choose Properties and then click the Advanced page. 3. Select the option Print Directly To The Printer To Bypass Spooling. If you choose to use spooling, you can specify that printing begins as soon as the data starts flowing to the queue, or you can configure it so the entire document moves to the spool before printing starts. The latter option can resolve printing problems, particularly with long documents. Miss a Windows 2000 Professional tip?

'printer spooler' reports it stopped working. The usual 'fix', that is, rebooting, doesn't help one bit. The 'spooler' keeps on yakking about a failure every time you restart. Meanwhile, FireFox and/or Thunderbird don't want to start either. They worked well before you got http://hebbut.net/Public.Offerings/Windows-printer-spooler-not-working.html the 'spooler' problem report. Uninstalling and subsequently re-installing the printer driver(s) didn't help. Even while http://searchwindowsserver.techtarget.com/tip/Delete-print-jobs-jamming-print-queue-in-Windows-2000-and-NT you made sure to reboot after uninstall (before re-installing) and another reboot after re-installing the drivers. The Solution Disclaimer/cop out: It's no guarantee this'll work for you, but chances are rather high it will. If it's doesn't, then I guess you're up the creek with no paddle. Note: On Vista and Windows 7 systems you must run the batch file available below print spooler as administrator. That happens when you single-click on the extracted .bat batchfile, then follow with a right-button (mouse-click) to get the popup menu over the batch file where one of the items should say 'Run as Administrator'. Unless, of course, you're on a corporate network/machine and your local sysadmin didn't allow you to do this. In that case, your local helpdesk folks have to help you out. Warning: You may have to run this batchfile a second time print spooler keeps to make sure all files in the listed 'printers' directory are indeed gone. What happened is that the spooler service (which is responsible for feeding your print jobs to your printer(s)) choked, fatally. I am not sure whether this is a spooler service or a printer driver issue (or both). Fact is that our friend the spooler service doesn't want to play when it finds files in the spool directory that are unaccounted for (thanks to its own crashing/failing on us). Hence, the solution is to at least delete those spool files, which represent our old print jobs. Yes, that also means, once we're back running like we should, we lost all pending print jobs, so you'll have to issue those again. Sorry. The above is largely based on these bits of info: TIP: Can't Delete Print Jobs (http://worldcadaccess.typepad.com/gizmos/2006/09/tip_plugged_up_.html) and the batch file posted by 'Chris' in the comments there. printer spooler service is not running (http://windows-7-help.blogspot.com/2009/06/print-spooler-service-is-not-running.html). NOTE: if the fix provided here does not suffice, see the note by 'Joe Orlando' in that post for another step to try: I've had this problem a lot with both Windows 7 (64-bit) and Window XP. There is only one solution that has worked for me, and it's not going to the "Services" and starting the Print Spooler, because the Print Spooler will just stop again within seconds or minutes.
