Try this:
Navigate to the Start Run slot and type
net start spooler

press enter. Next, try installing the printer.

If no joy, navigate to the Start Run slot and type
net start rpcss

and press enter. Try again to install the printer.

If still no joy, check the article referenced below and see if it
applies.
