Print Spooler wont start windows 7 error 1053

Anonymous

I am trying to install a printer on windows 7 but the print spooler wont start so i can't install

I have accessed the services.msc menu and tried to manually restart the spooler it is at this point that it i get the error msg:

Error 1053 Did not respond in timely manner etc . I have tried a computer restart but to no avail.

What should I do as i have no printing capacity but i do have scanning??

The registry key seems OK.

Can you run the system file checker to check for system file corruption - follow Option 1 in the folliwng link:

A system restore will not work in this situation as the printer never worked.

i uninstalled it and tried to restart the spooler to get the same msg

then restarted the computer & got the same msg

I then tried to reinstall the printer and it would only install the scanner

What printer is installed?

Have you tried removing and re-installing the printer?
