This is my standard print spooled post, I usually have a nice amount of success with it... I would start here...


Remove all physical printers.

Once the printer(s) is deleted, go to start>, and type CMD (Right Click, and "Run As Administrator"

net stop spooler
net start spooler

Click Start, and type "Print Management">Print Servers>Local>Drivers>Rt Click a driver and select "Remove Driver Package", and remove them all.....

Then try and reinstall the network/local printers....

Having struggled with this issue on Win7 machines in the past and now Server 2008 R2. I have the confirmed fix, You need to make the executable run as an administrator and not trusted installer.

go to c:\windows\system32\spoolsv.exe

Right click>properties>security>advanced>owner>edit
make adminstrator owner>ok

On the security tab>highlight adminstrator>edit>click full control>apply>ok


go to services and restart Print spooler
@ denhome do you need to set the print spooler service to log on as: administrator account as well, or does setting the owner of the .exe and giving it full permission take care of that?
