My Printer Is Not Working?

[shahab6]

When I try to install my printer I get "The print spooler service is not running."

My was printer was working before, then today I try to print I get you need to add printer so I tryed to install the drivers again, which I get that error.
How do i make it run?

Try the reset trick

Unplug for 30 seconds (yes 30 seconds it gives time for the caps to drain electronics jargon) then plug back in, also do a reboot, delete the device in device manager, and try to reinstall. If it still does it you may have a bad sensor, or other problem.

Hope this helps good luck

I don't see the device in device manager.

then add printer.

Yup. Reload. If you don't see it in device manager then it doesn't exist on your system. Load the drivers and try again. Hopefully that will wake it up.

Or you can kick it until it falls apart. That might invalidate your warranty, though.

well, do you try to see if USB port is a good one? Try other port, maybe that's the problem

[shahab6]

It works now.
