"Unfortunately, the Print Spooler has stopped working" - ZenFone 2 General

There is a bug in the Zenfone 2 that doesn't let you print from any app regardless of what printing service you use (Google Cloud Print, Canon Print Service, HP Print Service Plugin, or none!).
When tapping Print you will get a "Unfortunately, the Print Spooler has stopped working" message and the app will force-close.
The bug was reported nearly a month ago to ASUS but they ignored it. Please help me get this bug fixed by posting on this thread of the official ASUS forums www;asus.com/zentalk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=12948 (change ; to .)

It wasn't ignored. Asus replied the next day. Saying it worked for them. My phone hasn't arrived yet, but I'll try it out when it does. Did you follow all the steps in the link they provided in their reply?

Yes, you're right about ASUS not ignoring it, I misread what the mod posted, my apologies.
I tried all steps from the FAQ and it crashes as soon as I tap the Print button (unlike in the tutorial).
I just did a factory reset hoping it would fix it, and I still cannot print due to Print spooler crash.
I've had this problem in 2.19.40.18, 2.19.40.20, and 2.19.40.22. I don't know if previous firmwares are affected.
Can someone try printing on their phone? for example, from chrome or gmail.

I, too, get the same error and message when printing from Asus browser.
I'm on version 2.19.40.22.
Interestingly, the material printed even though the spooler crashed.

Print spooler crashed also on my galaxy tab pro 8.4..so I'm not sure it is a Zenfone 2 problem..

It is a Zenfone 2 problem. I tested on galaxy s3 (KK), galaxy s4 (Lollipop), LG G2 (KK), LG G3 (Lollipop) and it doesn't crash.

Lol so you are saying that my galaxy tab pro was infected by my zenfone 2. Also you can find bug reports for print spooler related to a lot of devices, searching in google.
Btw, testing both again today with also LG g2, zenfone 2 and LG g2 are working, galaxy tab pro still gives me the print spooler error. Sigh.

If printing works on galaxy s3 (KK), galaxy s4 (Lollipop), LG G2 (KK), and LG G3 (Lollipop) then it's not a bug of android that ASUS cannot fix. It even crashes without any printer service installed or any third party apps installed -- after a factory reset and cleared cache.

Ok but..following your post, I have a fully working print spooler on Zenfone 2 and LG G2 and a not working one on galaxy tab pro 8.4, so I must say it's Samsung's fault, from your point of view? I said the problem could be a combination of google services and certain devices(like zenfone 2) for this reason.
But no problem, I will search somewhere else a solution for my tablet, let's return in topic with the zenfone 2 problems here.

I believe downgrading Google Cloud Print to version 0.9.10 will fix your samsung tablet, sadly it didn't work for my zenfone 2.
So printing works on your Zenfone, that's interesting. What firmware and model do you have?

Thanks I'll try! I have a ZE551ML 32GB 4GB RAM, updated to the last firmware 2.19.40.22(WW). I tried printing a PDF and a chrome webpage actually, I will make other tests.

I can confirm that printing works on my Zenfone ZE551ML 64Gb 4Gb ram, CN 2.19.40.20 stock, unrooted.

Is there anyway to get starfront collisions to work on the nexus 7

I've been looking for a game like age of empires or star craft for my tablet. It seems that starfront is the closest thing to it, but I can't get it to work. Anyone know how to
I am curious too

Won't install?
The nexus is not of the supported devices. Game loft Site won't even allow to purchase. I've found the the apk file for all various devices, but it just crashes after the you try to launch it.

Would like to know add well
OK well if u use Google well enough you can find a version for the LG p990
Which if installed, it will download all the files needed and it will work on the n7
Sent from either Galaxy S3 intl or Nexus 7
both on stock at the moment!!
Tried installing the version for lg, but it won't download the add on. It keeps giving me an error.
I think I downloaded the add on, I think by using a different version and then just reinstalling it. I got the game to start, but it crashes after the first trailer plays out
Well I un installed it, and now I can't get past the add on download again. I'm not sure what I did last time, but I can't replicate it. I've paid and downloaded the lg p990 version from Game loft, but I can't get that to work either
I managed to get it working by using the Galaxy tab version to download the data. Then uninstall the game and install the LG version, it downloaded the data again but then worked.

Too complicated, I'll only play it on my playbook for now
Galaxy Nexus won't support
How many mb was the galaxy tab version. Mine was 526mb. I tried what you said, but it still says error when trying to download the add on from lg. Where did you get the apk files. I downloaded the lg version from Game loft. Which version of the galaxy tab did you get.
attached are the two apk file. one is for the tab the other for the lg p990. can anyone else confirm that they got it to work. i can't. i tried installing the samsung tab one, downloading the the add on, uninstalling it and then downloading the lg. however, i keep getting an error when the lg one tries to download the add. i've already spent over $20 to play this game, and i just can't figure out how.

can you please elaborate which tax version apk you used and which lg version you used.
Do a search for starfront collision all versions (torrent) it includes 8 apks. I've just reinstalled it to go through it again. Use the galaxy tab apk to download the data (526mb) The game FC's on startup. Install the lg p99 apk over the G Tab one and it works. Hope this helps everyone.

It worked. Awesome. Thanks
Don't spend money on Gameloft games if they aren't officially supported. I did this with Order and Chaos. Every update broke the game and it would say incomparable. They REALLY go to great lengths to only let their games run on specific devices. Toward the end, we had to deconstruct the APK files to remove the device detection code. It became way to complicated to be enjoyable.
I probably "wasted" $40 on Order and Chaos buying multiple versions to make it work and subscriptions and ingame app purchases... only to keep getting locked out for months at a time.
I have a really bad taste for Gameloft and simply do not support them with my cash if they do not want me to play it. So be warned. Don't drop cash on this unless you are seriously desperate to play it, because it may lock you out at any time.
the workaround explained here really works on Nexus 7.
But it just downloads 526MB of data and the graphics are not really the best.
However, if I use the Samsung Galaxy S II version, I get a download of 708MB. I believe these graphics should be better.
what do you say ?
Also, I'm looking for a version to run on Acer Iconia A100 and/or Asus EEE PAD Transformer (TF101).
These 2 devices have Tegra 2 CPU. Which version should I use on them ?

I'm not 100% sure as I'm still at the looking and deciding stage of whether to add the camera to my Samsung family but does it display when the camera starts up ?
Have you downloaded an app to see if it's in the start up programs ?
I use startup manager
Its a long shot but try it
I have noticed there isnt a lot of support for the camera yet on xda hopefully it will grow good luck

When you say you've loaded another Rom, did you do a wipe afterwards?

Your EFS is broken. You need to do an EFS restore.
Does this device use a Qualcomm modem?
Can he get that fixed without a backup of the EFS, I'm sure I've seen mixed reports on other Samsung devices, some people have successfully fixed/restored it, while others haven't?

The EFS contains information like your WiFi and Bluetooth MAC addresses and the key bit, your devices IMEI number, if that's screwed you won't be getting on any phone networks.
I do recall setting something for one of my old phoned about rebuilding the FED but what I can't recall is if you needed a backup of it in the first place for it to work.
If I find any useful info I'll post it here for you.

Anyone here pull the trigger on the SM-P907A?

Stopped by the ATT store yesterday afternoon and got so close to pulling the trigger. Then I remembered that for ~$150 less, I was able to get the 64GB SM-P900 model with the free keyboard offer from Best Buy.
I personally like the idea of being able to use my tablet on the go, but $899 for this 32GB LTE model seems rather steep.
Regardless, I'm still on the edge of picking up this ATT variant and was curious if anyone had done so already or considering the same.
I'm definitely all ears on the pros and cons and would also like to get some feedback with regards to performance, battery life, and firmware updates. I figure that real world performance is negligible between the wifi and lte model, but would like to hear from those that got to use both models.
Thanks in advance.

I picked my AT&T note pro the day it was released (last Friday), and so far I absolutely love it. I have had the Note 10.1 for quiet some time and was a little skeptical about spending $900 just to upgrade. But after just a few days with it I am very glad I "pulled the trigger". The screen resolution is amazing, even compared to the Note 10.1 The speed seems a lot quicker as well, even without root and debloating. As far as battery life I getting around 10-12 hrs of screen time, that's a combination of WiFi and LTE. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the feedback on your experience with the AT&T model of this beast of a tab. I actually picked up the US 64GB version of the P900 use it with a mobile hotspot device and it's been working well for me so far. Still, I'd much rathet not carry around a mobile hotspot just to get online. I just wished they released a 64GB LTE model.

I'm doing the same only with a 32gb model. Choice for me came down to root, at which point it was a no-brainer . . wifi version had it, US carrier versions didn't and I didn't want to risk slower development times for them.
From the looks of it there isn't much development for the wifi version either.

True, to be honest though with root I've already done enough to my tablet to not worry about custom ROM's for now. Still hoping for a slimmer rom to be developed but I probably won't jump on it right away.

What have you done to your note since rooting? This is the first device I've owned that doesn't have any ROMs available. Not sure what do with it when I take it out of the box...usually it's a quick dead pixel check, then goodbye stock.
Looking forward to this device and xda community!

Currently running Pie Controls and GMD Gesture Control to assist in application switching and other quick shortcuts. Not sure if I'll keep both I'm relying on Pie Controls more.
With Titanium Backup I've frozen a bunch of applications including Allshare, ANT applications (3 of them), samsung's backup app, Blurb Checkout, Business Week, Cisco Webex, E-Meeting, ELM Agent, Facebook (I use the web page), FWUpgrade, Gallery (I use Gallery KK), Play Newstand, KLMS Agent, Magazine Widget, Music (I use Google Play Music), My Magazine (I use Nova Launcher, the stock launcher sucks), Netflix, NY Times, Pagebuddy Service, Remote Controls and Remote PC app, Samsung Push Service, Scrapbook (no intention of using it), SideSync (dont have other samsung phones), Software Update, Weather and Briefing.
Freezing those applications keeps them from loading even as cached apps freeing up space in RAM to cache other apps that i frequently use.
In addition I uninstalled all Knox related apps.
For other mods I'm using Xposed Installer to do things like per application DPI settings to render things in smaller fonts, block ads, disable nag screens (location consent, modify share menus, modify complete action windows etc.), control what starts at boot (boot manager) as well as a few other tweaks.

Quick/Action Memo Replacement.

It seems that Samsung got rid of the Action Memo since the Note 4. Yes, we do have the Screen Off Memo, but it's not the same as Action Memo, which allowed you to minimize the memo and basically pin it to your screen in order to add on to it, or recall it later.
What's the best replacement without completely replacing the built-in note program? In other words, a program.

I tried his file and it worked, but then updated via the app store and then it stopped working. If you look at the reviews on the S Note app page though, you'll already see some Note7 users complaining about the lack of Action/Quick Memo. Maybe Samsung will make it work. Maybe it's currently not working because the app just needs updating? Who knows.

The best way is to get samsung to see the error in the change, and do something about it. Head over to the playstore and destroy them in a review of the POS Samsung Notes. The ratings are low and falling, but we need to have the ratings really crash. Maybe then they will listen and fix this thing.
