Restart Windows 11. This is common advice but it’s also advice that often works to fix bugs and glitches on Windows PCs, laptops, and Microsoft Surface devices.

• Download and install the latest Windows 11 update. Most print spooler errors and problems are often fixed in newer builds of the Windows 11 operating system which are released on a very regular basis.
• Update your Windows 11 apps. As with Windows updates, app updates can also fix a number of issues affecting the printer spooler. This is especially important if you continue to encounter errors when using a specific app for printing.
• Run the Printer troubleshooter. Open Settings > Troubleshoot > Other trouble–shooters and select Run next to Printer to run the Printer troubleshooter. This will scan your Windows 11 device for printer-related errors and fix them automatically.
• Stop, start, and reset the Windows 11 Print Spooler. Ttry stopping and starting the print spooler to see if that fixes the issue. If it doesn’t, reset the print spooler and try sending your file to the printer again.
• Clear the print queue. The print spooler may be overloaded with too many print jobs. Try removing all the jobs and then try to print your project again.
• Try using another app for printing. It’s possible the Windows app you’re using is causing the problem. If you can, try opening the file in another program and printing it from there.
• Remove all other printers from your Windows 11 device. Sometimes having multiple printers connected to a Windows 11 device can cause conflicts and spooler errors.
• Remove your printer and add it back again. This may feel like an inconvenience but it should only take a few minutes and could fix the spooler bugs you’re experiencing.

Update the printer drivers. Out-of-date device drivers are a very common cause of all kinds of hardware problems.

How do I restart a printer spooler?
From the Windows start menu, search for Services; Windows services are programs that run in the background that you usually don’t interact with. Double-click Printer Spooler > select Stop under Service Control > press Start to restart the process. You can also restart the service by right-clicking Printer Spooler from the Services window or Task Manager > Services > right-clicking Printer Spooler > Restart.
