• Double-click Printer Spooler in the Services list.
• Click Stop and click OK.
• Press “Windows Key+ R”, type "%WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers" in the open window, and delete all files in this folder.
• Press “Windows Key+ R”, type “services.msc”, hit Enter.
• Double-click "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.
