Do the following steps. 1). Start --> Run. type "services.msc". You will get services window. At right panel, u will have an option print spooler. Right click it and click on STOP. 2). Restart your computer, Try installation now. If u still have same issue, then do the foll steps: 1). Start --> Run. type "Regedit". You will get Registry Editor. Left Panel goto : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE --> SYSTEM -->Current Sontrol Set --> Spooler. Now at right panel u can see a file "Depend On Service". Delete this file. 2). Restart your computer. Now try to install.. It must work.

If you have the drivers for the printer, then you could uninstall the printer driver, and reinstall it again, or visit the printer web site and download them, and install the latest drivers from there.

I had the same problem when I loaded the software for my Epsom ink-jet printer. I cured it by going through the settings and de-selecting 'Use Spooler'. You should find this from your Start Menu (If using Windows OS), hope that helps.
