to resolve the issue, 

1- From IM, Open the raw configure of the controller
2- With the controller section selected, create a new key as below
   
key name:  spooler_port 
key value 48004 ( or any port within the 48000s range)

3- the robot will restart and verify the spooler probe is green and get port and pid.
