Issue with 1 computer and printing documents

[livinthailandos]

First I have 3 computers that share 1 network printer, and 2 computers that have never have any issue with printing but only one of them does and its a everyday issue, on this computer that has the issue printing, keep in mind this computer with the problem has a POS printer attached.

I've tried the following

1. System Restore

2. Removing printers and then re adding printers to the computer

3. Updated with new printer drivers

None of these solutions have worked

My only solution to get the computer to start to print I have to everyday go into

CMD, type in services.msc, then go to Print Spooler, right click on stop, then after that right click on start then the computer will allow me to print for the network printer and the POS printer attached to this computer, keep in mind it works the whole day, then the next day I have to do this again.

Any ideas on how to fix this so i'm not doing this everyday

Did you try uninstalling the POS printer completely and trying the network printer alone?

If it works then, there might be a conflict between the two.

Would help to know your operating system, the models of both printers and the printer driver you are using for the network printer. Also, how is the pos printer connected (USB, parallel, serial,...)

Also, is the network printer a true network printer or a local one shared from another PC?
