Windows Printer Error 0x00000002

What it means

"The system cannot find the file specified," seen while adding a printer or installing its driver. It generally means a driver file is missing or the print spooler needs restarting, and is cleared by restarting the spooler and reinstalling the current driver.

A full step-by-step guide is on the way

We publish guides only after checking each step against the manufacturer's own documentation, so this one is still being written. In the meantime, if the code relates to a jam or an obstruction, switching the printer off, unplugging it for a minute, and checking for anything stuck resolves a large share of cases.

Different code or problem?

Switch off and unplug a printer before reaching inside it. If a fault involves the power supply or internal electronics, or the machine is under warranty, contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician. Full disclaimer.
