it is driving me mad, ERROR 1075 keeps coming up

The spooler service is dependent on the RPC service. Is the RPC service
running?
Open Control Panel / admin tools / services / Print Spooler /

Are there any other dependencies these could be the problem but these are
usually not MS products.
Error 1075

The dependency service does not exist or has been marked for deletion.

I can't reinstall my rpinter because the print spooler is
not running properly. I don't know how to fix this
problem.

Try, Start-settings-administrator tools-services. Search
for the print spooler service. right klik on the service
and click start.

Hope this will help

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.

I am unable to install a printer and continue to get the
error message: RPC Server Unavailable. I have traced this
back to the fact that my print spooler is stopped. When I
try to start it up, I get the error message: Error 1068
Dependency Service or Group Failed to Start. I am running
Windows XP on a Dell Dimension 4550. Anyone know what may
be causing this or how to fix it? Thank you.

Ah, don't tell me, you have a Lexmark.

Disconnect the printer from the PC. Follow the instructions at Bruce
Sanderson's website and pay special attention to his section on Lexmark
printers.

http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

At the end of the cleanup, reboot the PC. Download a new set of drivers
from www.lexmark.com (if you intend to reinstall the same or another
Lexmark) <at which point I run and hide> or from the other printer
manufacturer's website <at this point I'll cheer!>... install the software
and do NOT reconnect the printer until the software tells you to do so.

I have read all these posts (ok, I think I have
read "all")- and they never address the same problem if
one is NOT using a Lexmark. Obviously, I am curious since
I do not employ a Lexmark and my print spooler has begun
to fail, after running for two years w.o problems (the
only new printer added to the ten there was an HP 4000 on
the network).
thanks.
