Printer spooler will not start Error 1053
Hi,
I have had a Lexmark X4550 printer installed on my Windows 7 x64 inspiron for a few months now. Yeterday the printer wouldn't print which has never happened before. When I went into devices it said there was a problem with the printer and it needed troubleshooting. The troubleshooter couldn't find a solution. I found some suggested fixes online and have tried them all without success. I did however discover that the Printer Spooler was stopped. When I tried to restart it from services it came up with an error that said:-
Windows could not start the printer spooler service on local computer
Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely manner.
I have checked that it is set to run automatically, and when I checked the dependancies I discovered that remote procedure call was stopped and set to manual. I reset it to automatic and started it sucessfully. This did not fix the printer spooler error however.
I have uninstalled the lexmark software and tried to remove the printer driver - this didn't help either.
I have also tried the following:-
Open a Command Prompt window
key the command;
sc config spooler depend= RPCSS
restart the print spooler
This also didnt help.
I tried clearing the print list from the spool folder but there was nothing in it.
I'm totally out of ideas now, any suggestions on how to fix this problem? I believe that Windows had a fix for this issue on XP and Vista but I cant find one for windows 7. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I.m in way over my head here. I don't know why it worked or if it's permanent. I have an HP printer and reloaded the drivers.
but after I did all the windows updates it kicked in.

“Print Spooler Error 1053” error are caused by missing system files or broken system registry structures. This is a critical sign of an unstable system that is typically caused by improper maintenance of the computer. Error 1053 can sometimes be caused by a hung program running in the background.
