Followed your instructions and the installation failed.
Due to the RCP server not being available. This is the
same message I received when I first tried to install the
printer. I have also received messages about the printer
spooler not available/not running. I had my system
upgraded from ME to XP in May. Not sure if that helps
but I am getting very frustrated in not being able to
load this printer (hp photosmart 7960). Thanks for your
help.

RCP or RPC Server? You may want to check the settings for the RPC
Locator in the services under System Tools in the Control Panel. I
highly doubt this is the problem, but you may want to check. You will
want to set the print spooler service to Automatic and the RPC Locator
service to either Manual or Automatic.

I am having the same problem and have been researching this topic for over a
month with no luck. I am trying to install HP LaserJet 1012 and continually
receive the message "RPC service is unavailable". I have been to every
website I can find, including most of the MVP's sites with no luck. I
upgraded from Win98 to XP Home SP2 with a retail version CD upgrade and ever
since then, I can't install my printer. Any help would be appreciated as I
am a college student and deperately need to have access to my printer.
