If your Print Spooler cannot run, then you should take some measures. You can read the following article, which is called:"Print spooler service keeps stopping – How I fixed this"

So, I hope this information will be helpful for you and you will solve this problem by yourself.

I tried many suggestions that I found online. The following worked for me:
1. Turned off AVG anti-virus programs for 15 minutes.
2. Accessed print spooler via “Run” by typing “services.msc”
3. Started Print Spooler and this time it did not automatically stop.
4. This allowed the printers to be accessed in the printer control panel. However, Word did not show any printers as available. Got the “active directory domain services is currently unavailable” error (AC DS) message.
5. Immediately restarted computer.
6. Immediately after computer started, turned off AVG programs for 15 minutes
7. This seemed to take care of the AC DS issue. Printers showed up in Word.
8. Restarted AVG programs.

Hoped i Helped
1st post to (signed up to say this cause no site says this just one of my ways of fixing things)

just saw a post above i missed you do need remote procedure call (rpc) running same thing with starting then print spooler. but check if the remote procedure call (rpc) is started because that needs to be running.

sorry i missed that post but just explained a bit better for people who might have no idea what they are doing

thanks bro, you have saved my life....
