Answer 1

Hi Marut Aubdulloa,

Run services.msc and open Properties of Print Spooler, switch to the Recovery tab and select "Restart the Service" for subsequent failures.

To find out the reason why the Print Spooler service stops, open event viewer and see if there are any errors in the system log.

Best Regards,

Hello Marut,

Double check to make sure the Print Spooler service is enabled and set to "Automatic" and is "Running".
