Computer wont reconize printer RRS feed

  • Question

  • I had a problem of my computer not reconizing my HP printer. I deleted the printer and atempted to reinstall it. During the reinstall process I get error message saying "Print spooler" when I clicked on the "Fix" option nothing happened. I went to "services msc" and atempted to start the "print spooler" but all I got was a "red x" next to print spooler, and an error massage that said "Windows could not start the print spooler on local computer".
    I also received another error message saying. "Error 2: the system canot find the file specified". I also ran the "Fix" for "Software Licensing has stopped".

    Need help.
