How to Find a Printer Spooler
- 1). Log on to your computer and click the "Start" button. Choose "Control Panel" from the menu. Click the "Classic View" button if it is visible. Classic View will show you all of the available icons. You might need to do this if you are running Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7.
- 2). Double-click the "Administrative Tools" icon. Locate the "Services" icon and double-click it.
- 3). Scroll down the list until you see "Print Spooler" This is the print spooler service. If the service is stopped, right-click it and choose "Start" to restart it. Restarting the print spooler should resolve issues like prints not coming out and not being able to add a new printer.
