Print Spooler Keeps Stopping Windows 7- HP Printer
Hi;
I have a case where the print spooler service keeps stopping. It started about two months ago. Initially I simply reinstalled the Pritner driver, it happened again and that worked but then the next time it happened I realised that it was being caused by the spooler. A restore resolved it for a few days and then it happened again.
Manually starting the spooler service does not resolve the issue. The machine has Eset Smart Security on it and no signs of viruses.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thank you very much. The programmed worked.
For operating system damage, run System File Checker. Run SFC /SCANNOW and allow to complete. Run again if errors remain uncorrected. Restart the computer and test.
