[FIXED] How do I restart the spool printer?

Issue

My coworker told me to restart the spool printer. I can't figure out what to do now.

I contacted my HP printer's support forum (http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/LaserJet-Printing/Confusing-Printer-Terminology/m-p/5584362/highlight/false#M282430) but they're not getting back to me.

I'm afraid I may have messed up my computer. Anyhow, what do I need to do to restart the spool printer so that I can print something again? I'm on Windows XP Dell Inspiron 10.

Solution

Press Win-R, type CMD, and press OK.

Then, type net stop spooler and press enter.

To restart it again, type net start spooler and press enter.
