print spooler keeps turning off
All of a sudden the print spooler is off and won't recognize my HP printer. I installed new driver software for the printer, but that didn't really change anything.  I can go into local services and turn the print spooler back on, but it won't stay on.

Hi Big,

Thank you for your question.

We could run service.msc in Run, then

In General table:

stop and re-start the service of Print Spooler, and configure startup type into automatic,

In Log On table:

Choose Local System account and check Allow service to interact with desktop

In recovery table, please make sure:

First failure: Restart the Service

Second failure: Restart the Service

Subsequent failures: Take No Action

Reset fail count after: 1 days

Restart service after: 1 minutes

Then we could restart the computer to check if the issue persist.

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

Best Regard,

Jim
