Navigate to Control Panel Administrative Tools Component Services
Services (Local). Check Print Spooler in the list and make sure its
startup is set to Auto. If it is not, change the setting.

Highlight the entry Right click Properties Startup type.

Let us know.

A system security message might pop up. If so, select "unblock" to allow
the applet to run.

I am having the same problem. It apparently hangs on a nonexistant file "LexBceS". I had a Lexmark printer at one time but not now. How do I eliminate the reference to this useless file?

download EFRC(Eusing Free Registry Cleaner) and clean up the registry, it's free and I use it on all my computers for the last few years with no problems, including my OLD dell laptop

Thanks for the reply. I found a Microsoft article that lead me to where to delete the dependency item. That did the trick. A Lexmark file had to be loaded for it to work and I deleted it. Thanks
