Windows 10: 0x000006ba, print spooler service not running, how can i fix this?

Hi, my cannon printer has suddenly stopped printing, but i can still scan to my laptop. I just keep getting the message 0x000006ba, print spooler service not running. I have tried turning the printer on/off, unplugging the printer, restarting the computer, restarting the spooler in 'services', checking %WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers and there is nothing there. When i try to print, it does not show my printer and prompts me to add a printer, but when i click that, my printer does show up. If i try to add the printer, it just keeps showing a printer that i definitely dont have, but wont recog

:)

 

Print Spooler error 0x800706b9 printer not enough resources Windows10

I am unable to print anything. I get the error message that the print spooler is not running:

0x000006ba local print spooler service is not running

I attempt to start the print spooler service, and get the cited error:

0x800706b9 not enough resources are available to complete this operation

I have searched for these error messages, and performed all troubleshooting steps that I could find from the previous threads; no success. The print spooler still is not working and will not start.

Print Spooler Service Not Running

Hello,

We can offer a few troubleshooting steps related to this issue and see which helps. First, check if you can
update your drivers, restart your PC after the update and see how it goes.

Another step that we can try is to check if there are print queues left on your printer spooler folder. Here are the steps:

• Press the Windows key + R to launch the Run
  dialog.
• Type services.msc and hit the Enter key.
• Find the Print Spooler services, right-click and select
  Stop.
• Leave the services window open and launch the Run dialog once again.
• Type %systemroot%\System32\spool\printers\
• Hit the Enter key.
• Check if the folder is empty. If otherwise, delete all files.
  
• Go back to step 3, right-click and select Start.
• Restart your PC.

Keep us posted and let us know the outcome.
