When you give your computer a print command, it keeps all those files to be printed in a print spooler service. It then sends those files one by one to the printer for printing; however, you will experience printing problems if this service gets corrupted or damaged. In the midst accessing the printer, you might have received print spooler error. Sometimes, it might not be the print spooler error but other errors like:

• No paper in the tray
• Printer not connected properly
• Sending too many printing commands continuously

Check all these errors. Restart your computer and re-print. If they are still not resolved, then it’s high time that you stop and then restart your print spooler service. You must resolve print spooler error first.
