Printer spooler offline and will not start

[Lightingbird]

Hmm well I've tried to turn it on in services but I get an error. So I've tried performing a disc clean and ran sfc /scannow. It still will not start. Any ideas?

Go to Start -> Run and type
net start spooler

Or manually: Start->Run->services.msc
Locate Print Spooler, double click on it and change it to Automatic, then start it


If this doesn't help, uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers (likely fault)
