How To Turn Print Spooler Service On Or Off In Windows 10/8/7.
When you send a file or document to print from a PC computer, the data is sent to the system's printer spooler. The printer spooler loads the file data into the computer's memory and then processes the print job you requested. However, sometimes you will find that your print command fails because the printer spooler was turned off by some other system component. In order to start printing again, you will need to turn on the printer spooler from the Control Panel options.
Modern operating systems, including Windows 7, allow you to send multiple business documents to your printer. The documents, formatted for printing, are stored on your hard disk, and the printer retrieves and prints them one by one. This is called printer spooling. However, the printer spooling service must be enabled before you can print your business documents. If the print spooler is not running, you will receive an error that says, "The print spooler service is not running," when you try to send a document to the printer.
