    To check if your printer service is running:

    Start, run, services.msc

    Click on the Standard tab at the bottom left hand corner and scroll down to Printer Spooler. Double click it to see that it's set to Automatic in the pull down menu. If the service is not running, click on Start. If it fails, check it's Dependencies to see what else may be the cause.
