Having trouble with the spooler, and stopping/restarting it is the "fix", but it's tedious to navigate through the menus to reach Services to restart. Is there a way to stop/start a Windows "service" via the command line?

Make sure you are using cmd as admin (run as administrator).

To stop the spooler, type net stop spooler, i.e. C:\windows\system32\net stop spooler

This should work in Windows Vista.
