Now that we’ve found the Print Spooler service, let’s start it up:

  • Right-click on “Print Spooler”.
  • From the context menu, select “Start”.
  • The Print Spooler service will now start running.

Step 4: Test the Print Spooler

Finally, we need to test if the Print Spooler is working correctly. Here’s how:
