That why the printer spooler service failed to start.
I don't know some how vista turn off LDP port after installing new printer driver and leaves only Internet client port only. I had "spooler subsystem app stopped working." and found solution that may help you to fix your case. We' see after extensive print job what will happen.
Vista catch device and install the driver (it is the same as before I have downloaded it from HP as recommended for Vista) Now the system is OK. I decided to switch off 1020 and switch it again - I was just curious. nevertheless printers view of control panel was functioning properly 4. I have restarted The funny thing was that Vista did not catch the printer 1020 which I have forgotten to switch off. I have deleted the key shown above for 1020 prn 3. the spooler service start automatically and switch off if you try to do smth 2. Your approach - activate LPD and LPR which were switched off The problem was persisting. The problem was resolved after deleting the brabch for HP LJ1020 in Controlset1 etc HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-3\HP LaserJet 1020 The steps were: 1. Thanks Chan, I have always think for computers as alive thing - sometimes they do what they prefer :) Your advice was helpful partially. My third notebook has this configuration and does not give me problems. Vista seems far more stable on Intel running a Pentium class processor with an nVidia video card. I will never buy an AMD again, and I will never buy ATI, and Dell's customer service has been lax in finding answers. Unfortunately for Dell, ATI andn AMD, the problems I've had have me looking at other vendors. Instability is greater on Dell notebooks running AMD processors and ATI video cards. It's a memory hog and has driver issues with printers and video cards, especially on notebooks.
I find it very odd that this should occur on multiple computers at about the same time.ĭid Microsoft push an update to Vista recently that caused a spooler subsystem problem?
The subsystem error started on Notebook #1 a week ago, and then on Notebook #2 yesterday, exactly one day after I repaired the problem on the first Notebook.
I have not performed any software or hardware installations in at least two months. I'm concerned that this error "suddenly" popped up on TWO different machines. I am going to try the registry edit on it tonight. It worked on one of my Dell Notebooks, but my second Dell notebook is now throwing the error and will not let me update the LDR and LPR. So far, this is the best fix, but I had to delete the registry entry for my HP 1020 printer.
> 0x4549b734, faulting module localspl.dll, version. > Faulting application spoolsv.exe, version.
The registry entry, start the printer spooler and reinstall the printerĭrivers, most likely Vista will have these drivers built in. That should fix all issues to the SubSystem App crashing, after you delete Start -> Run - Regedit -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SYSTEM -> ControlSet001 ->Ĭontrol -> Print -> Environments -> Windows NT x86 -> Version -3 -> RemoveĪll Printers From Here (Delete HP First See If that resolves the problem) to correct this i went into the registry andįinally found the problem, the registry key for the printer pointing to the In my case the " spooler subsystem app stopped working" kept popping up. I made the reccomended corrections which helped. Your assistance and guidance in this matter is greatly appreciated. Also check for viruses and malware and the programs didn't find any. I'm sure what else is causing the problem. I also followed the recommendations on this site at: I've also tried the other steps on I've Googled like the following:Ĭlick Start, Run and enter sc config spooler depend= RPCSS (there must be a space after "=" but not before it.) Spooler Subsystem would inexplicably shut down again. I'll turn it on, reboot and then try to install the printer drivers again to no avail. Even though in Windows feature the LPD and LPR is turn on, I am unable to add a printer (HP Deskjet 930 - simple to do). I tried your approach, but unfortunately didn't work. Then the Spooler went down to reasons I can't figure out. I'm running Vista Business on a Dell XPS laptop.
