The Print Spooler on your computer is a piece of software that was designed to act as the middle man between your computer and your printer. Every time that you print a document off of your computer, the Print Spooler reads the document and then places it into a queue on your computer. The printer than reads the documents in your printer queue and when it is ready to print, the Print Spooler allows the printer to read and print the document. The printer spooler also helps to allow you to keep working all the while that your document you sent to the printer is in the print queue ready to print.

Sometimes there are errors that can occur with printer spools and this is because the Print Spooler relies on other drivers from third-parties that are on your computer. If one of these drivers is not working correctly, or one of the files that is needed to run one of those printer drivers is corrupt or your computer can not locate it when it is trying to print, there will be an error that occurs with your Print Spooler. Sometimes when Print Spooler errors occur, they can even cause your entire system to crash and this can be very frustrating because if you have not saved the work that you are currently working on, it is possible that those files may be lost or damaged along the way.

How can you help prevent Print Spooler errors from occurring or fix Print Spooler errors when they do occur? One of the best ways is to make sure that you are always up to date on performing maintenance on your computer and cleaning up files on your computer, especially on your Windows Registry. There are a lot of important files that are located in your Windows Registry on your computer, and if these files become corrupt or damaged it can affect any kind of program or application that you are trying to open and run on your computer. In order to prevent this from occurring, you need to make sure that you do not have any corrupt or damaged files on your computer and that the files that are used by your printer drivers and print spool are not corrupt or missing. Doing these simple tasks can help you make sure that you will not receive as many Print Spooler errors in a program when you are trying to print a document.

You can also download other software fixes online that can help repair damaged files on your computer, and install the latest versions of software applications that are running on your computer. Make sure that if you do download new versions of software on your computer that you get rid of the old versions to make sure that they will not cause problems for you when you are trying to run a program or print by using a Print Spooler.
