Print Spooler isn’t working properly

Asked By zacharytyshawn 10 points N/A Posted on - 02/20/2013

I have a Toshiba Satellite A660D. I have not changed the windows operating system 7.

When I try to initiate the impression tail (cola) manually, this error message appears:

Services

Windows could not start the Print Spooler service on Local Computer.

Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in

a timely fashion.

I cannot decide what to do to solve this problem.

Please someone has more ideas on this, to tell with key words.
