Printer Spoolar Sevice stoped working in Windows

You can start the Print Spooler using the following procedure:

1.In the Administrative Tools folder (click Start, then Control Panel, then System and Maintenance and then Administrative Tools), open the Services snap-in.

2.Locate the Print Spooler service in the list of services and confirm that the status is Started. If it is not, select the service and on the Action menu, click Start.

 

If problem not solved then try  following procedure -

I suspect that it has stopped and that just starting it will not solve the problem.

You may need to show hidden files. Type Folder Options in the search box above the Start button and select View, Advanced Settings and verify that the box before "Show hidden files and folders" is checked and "Hide protected operating system files" is unchecked. You may need to scroll down to see the second item. You should also make certain that the box before "Hide extensions for known file types" is not checked.

Now access Windows Explorer and select C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SPOOL\PRINTERS. Normally this folder should be empty but there is a problem when files with “spl” and “shd” extensions stick there, check the size of  files. Delete the files of 0Kb , extentions of  SHD and SPL. Now restart your computer.

This should resolve your problem.
