When you try to install a printer or try to print some thing You get the following error .

Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running.

Start>Run> type services.msc and click OK.

Double-click the Printer Spooler service, and then change the startup type to Automatic. This sets the Spooler service to start automatically when you restart the computer. Click OK.

Restart the computer and try to install the printer again.

If that doesn’t work, the problem could be related to corrupted printer drivers that are installed on the computer. Try uninstalling all printer software from the computer and start from scratch.
