My printer keeps switching itself off having not done any printing. Help!
Could you be a little more descriptive about what's happening..

So, the printer is in the MIDDLE of printing something and it stops, or completely powers off ?grandpa is right we need more info.are you GETTING any error messages on the digital screen on the printer--such as out of ink on any of the cartridges? truenorthThe age of the machine and when the problem started may help too.Thanks for quick replies

I do not get any error message except when windows loads, that tells me that the
spoolsrv.exemdm cannot initiate
The WRITING is on the wall here... the printer spooler service (spoolserv.exe) is not running the WAY it is suppose to which is required for the printing environment to work..It should be running by default..



I don't know if this will work but it's worth a try..Open a command prompt and type  services.msc .....give it a sec. and when the Services Manager comes up, scroll down to "printer spooler", right click on click "properties"..  Make SURE the "start up type" is set to "automatic", then click the "start" button to try to start the service...
