Print spooler suddenly turned off.
Today on start up, noticed the machine was a little sluggish, but after a short while appeared to be normal. I tried to print a document and Win7 said that I had no printers installed??. Looked at the Devices and Printer screen and only two were there with yellow triangles. Tried to do a printer install, W7 said the spooler was not running. Went to services and enabled the print spooler, the printers showed back up on the D&P screen, initiated a print and same response. P&D screen showed no printers, did the enable of the spooler still no luck. Tried a reboot, same problem, did a recovery back a couple of days, it was successful but problem still remains after a print command. Did the normal virus scan, malware thing, now I am stumped. I remember several months ago 10-12 that I had to go into the registry and change something with this exact behavior, but that remedy escapes me now. Appreciate any suggestions.
