Hi Azeez,
I tried your first proffer which didn't fix the trouble. I still become a message saying the print spooler won't start. I looked at Suggestion 2 just that didn't tell me annihilation new that I already didn't know. I went to Suggestion3 but it looks like it is for Vista - I have Windows vii. when I clicked on the windows 7 section, there were so many questions and answers to so many different problems - non only print spoolers so I am not certain what adjacent.

Thanks Tom,
I tried as you lot suggested and the startup type for RPC was already gear up to Automatic but was greyed out and I couldn't change it. The Print Spooler was too set to Automatic already. When I restarted, Spooler still says failed to outset.
And so doesn't seem to work!

Hello Scott
Thanks for your suggestion. I followed your instructions and when I clicked on the DependonService value, the existing information already said RPCSS http. I deleted all of it and typed RPCSS. When I went to cheque the Spooler, it still says Failed to Read Description. Error Lawmaking: 1813
It doesn't seem to be working. Is at that place something else I can attempt?!

OK. Let's try this:
Navigate to the windows spooler directory.
C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS
and delete every file you find there. Then, reboot. Next, try to install the printer.
