Print Spool will not stay active. SFC / Scannow shows corruption but no repair
Boggin:
Were you able to run the chkdsk command in read-only mode to see if it reported any bad sectors ?
This article may be able to help with the CBS Log but the DISM command doesn't work in Win 7 http://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-resource-protection-found-corrupt-files
As the CBS Log is quite large, you could .zip it and attach it to your reply for Shane to have a look at it, but unless you are able to replace the corrupt files then the next step would be either a Repair Install or a factory reset on an OEM machine after backing up your personal stuff.

Hi,
Try these steps. Install stalled printer from the link
http://stalled-printer-repair.software.informer.com/1.1/
And then open this. If it finds any files in the spooler, just purge it.
Type services. msc and go to print spool services. right click and then Temporarily stop it. Then right click then click properties go to the recovery tab. There, you check whether two options are set to Restart the service. go to dependencies tab,and in the tab, make sure RPC is in started stage. Otherwise, find the service and get it started.
After all these steps, again go to the spooler service to start the service. Be sure to set this automatic. exit the services editor and then try to print. If these steps do not help, then use the JRT tools to get rid of any malware
Shane:
Normally the sfc will log what file it couldnt replace in the event viewer.
A repair install would also most likly fix it as well. :wink:

Update: I did an Upgrade Install and the SFC scan is now clean. However the printer problem persists. When I start the print spooler and quickly click on "add a printer" I receive the following error - Windows can't open Add Printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0X000006be).
I ran the Fixit program for printer problems and it didn't fix the error.
The print spooler will not stay active. I am currently researching the 6be error message.
I found a Microsoft Hotfix for the printer issue described to have the 6be error but I haven't applied the Hotfix yet. I am waiting for a backup to complete prior to applying it.
Boggin:
If the Hotfix doesn't do it then check out these steps http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/3e47b7b6-00a3-47e1-9e28-e615fbff5f87/cant-add-printer-print-spooler-crashes-error-code-0x000006be?forum=itprovistaprinting or http://www.thefreewindows.com/5582/install-printer-windows-7-vista/
