    Every time I try to print from the word processor, teh print dialog freezes and then the printers list goes empty. Windows says teh Print Spooler service isnt running. I start it again, try to print, and it crashes again. This started after I installed Acer BenQ Acer 610 Plus Scanner ISA Driver 0213 for my multifunction printer. This is teh error I see:

    Other people in the house can't print either since it's the shared PC. i've restarted a dozen times. Is there a way to see what's crashing the spooler and get rid of it? what am i doing wrong??

    cry

    remove the offending driver: open Print Management (printmanagement.msc) on Pro editions, or Printers & scanners > Print server properties > Drivers tab, select the driver and choose Remove driver and driver package. do it right after starting the spooler, before anything triggers a crash. good luck man!

    if teh UI wont stay up long enough, use the command line: printui /s /t2 opens the drivers tab directly, and pnputil /enum-drivers + pnputil /delete-driver oemXX.inf /uninstall /force rmeoves the package from the driver store.

    ahh classic reinstall with a clean package from the printer makers support page. If they offer a basic driver and a full software suite, try teh basic driver first; its less likely to load extra components into the spooler.

    hmm idk i'd remove the old unused printer drivers too. leftover drivers from old printers cause spooler crashes surprisingly often.
