I have a dell A920 that hasn't been able to print for a while because it keeps saying that the printer spoolers are not running. I have checked out the net and check a few things like going to "services" and making sure that the print spoolers are on "automatic" and what not. Then wehn i try to start the print spooler servive i get this message "could not start the print spooler service on local computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start". I have gotten nowhere on the net looking for a solution. Any ideas? The printer will scan but it won't print, i tried reinstalling the drivers, from the printer disk, but nothing is working. thanks

I had the same problem. The reason the 'print spooler service' will not start or stay started is because your registry is corrupted. Here's the link that fixed it for me:
