Print Spooler

Windows 7 Service Details

Description:

Same as always. Handles spooling of printer. If you disable it you will still be able to print but will need to always wait for print to complete to continue work. If you only print like one thing a month, or less, then there is no reason for this to constantly be taking up memory on your computer. However, I have chosen to recommend this to Automatic even for 'tweak' because it will cause your system to behave different than you are used to if you have never disabled this service, and many 'tweak' users will just go ahead and follow the recommendation without reading the warning.


Service Description:

Loads files to memory for later printing


Consequences of Stopping:

.
All services listed in 'Required For' will be unable to function


Depends on:

DCOM Server Process Launcher, Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
