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.

    When I install this "UMBus Enumerator" by "add hardware". It does have a distinct heading, but nothing listed underneath and it gives error "can not start" (code 10).

    When I look it that way, I only see  "UMBus Root Bus Enumerator", then "UMBus Enumerator" is listed below that one.. So, there is no "UMBus Enumerator", besides the one that is listed under  "UMBus Root Bus Enumerator".

    There should be two "UMBus Enumerator" entries as well as the  "UMBus Root Bus Enumerator".

    Can you take a look this way:

    Device Manager > View > Show hidden devices  > View > Devices by connection

    Then expand "UMBus Enumerator".

    What is listed under  "UMBus Enumerator"?

    Yes, I managed to get there.

    "UMBus Enumerator" is displayed and works correctly, but only one entry.

    There is another entry, which is named "UMBus Root Bus Enumerator", also one entry and working correctly.
