printer spooler

when I go to add a printer I get operation could not be completed. the print spooler is not running ... I click ok
then I go to admin tools in control panel ... then services > print spooler options > start and get the error message could not start print spooler service on local computer. error 1068: the dependency service or group failed to start ...
any ideas?

your system printer is local or network printer

Do one thing delete all your printer installed then re install your printer after that goto service manager start print spooler.

DO THIS

CHECK THIS

As an administrator (user with rigths), login into that PC:

Menu Start ----> Run

services.msc

You will see Services Windows

Look for "printer spooler" service
Configure it to start automatically and Start it

Juliancito

If you cannot started is because some of this services are stopped

RPC service (Remote calling ...) is stopped (Started, put it in automatically)

i've noticed that there's a lexbce in dependencies in print spooler properties which could be the original lexmark printer .. maybe?
