From: Jerry on 4 Aug 2010 18:16 I am running Win XP SP3 and am trying to install a new printer, During the software install I get a message saying that I need to start the Print Spooler. When I try to start it I get the error message as follows; Could not start the print spooler service on local computer. Error 1068: the dependency service or group failed to start. Any further info needed from me? Any ideas? Jerry

From: Jerry on 4 Aug 2010 21:31 RPC is started but Print Spooler is stopped and will not start, just give the error message that I indicated.
