Afternoon All,
I work as an IT Technician for a company but I have one machine that is stubbornly having Spooler issues that I can't seem to sort out.w
The device is on our domain.
It has very specific software unique to this machine so a Windows OS reinstall is not an option.
We tried to add a printer, but it either says the drivers are unavailable (even when installed using the printer manufacturers software "Kyocera").
Or it will say you can't add the machine as the print spooler service is stopped.
I can start the service in services.msc, with no problem. It starts fine.
But when you go to do anything that would use the service it will end, and you will get the below in event viewer.
Event ID 7034 - The Print Spooler service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 3 time(s).
I have checked the dependencies and they all start and have been started fine. Here are the other things that have been attempted:
sfc /scannow
ran chkdsk
checked %SystemRoot%\system32\spool\printers\*.* , nothing in here at all, completely empty
checked in registry CurrentControlSet, removed the printers in there
tried to install feature for LPD and LPR, this did not work however, but might be domain related as no device has these installed
I removed all the printers that I could from the machine to see if they are causing issues, but I could not remove one called TASKalfa 2533ci, which is the model of printers we own.
It simply hangs around, not able to be deleted.
Cannot be removed from device manager either, just sticks.
Cannot be removed by cmd or powershell as this tells me spooler needs to be started, same with trying print management.
Kinda ran out of idea for how to get Print Spooler service stable...
Let me know if anything else needs to be tried..
