HP Officejet works intermittently

Occasionally, documents sent to print will queue, but will
not print.
Device manager says all is well and I have installed the
latest drivers.
This always corrects itself with a reboot, but that is not
altogether satisfactory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Try this. It removes all Print Spooler service dependencies other than
the Remote Procedure Call service.

Click Start, Run and enter

sc config spooler depend= RPCSS Note the space after "=" but not
before it.

The Print Spooler service should now be able to run. Printer
functionality may be affected. It is best to delete, clean up and then
reinstall the printer drivers.


Now go back to services.msc

Right-click Print Spooler, and then click Properties.

Make sure that the startup type is set to Automatic. If it is not, click
Automatic in the Startup type list, and then click Apply.

Under Service status, click Start.

Click OK to close the Print Spooler Properties dialog box.

Let us know.
