I had the same issue!! I called up Canon Australia on 13 13 83.

The gentleman explained that even thought it was called Print Spooler, it was my laptop.

Start Menu > Run > services.msc

Long list of items > scroll down to Print Spooler



STARTUP TYPE SHOULD BE "AUTOMATIC"

AND SERVICE STATUS SHOULD BE "STARTED"

if it's not, click "Start" > then Apply

no need to reboot - try installing the drivers now.

Good luck! If this doesn't work, call Canon tech support in your country :)

Cheers!

Please follow the below given steps to remove the dependencies.

1.Click start icon.
2.Click on All Programs.
3.Click on Accessories.

To remove this dependency all you have to do is open the command prompt and type in the following command:

Please type Sc*config*spooler*depend=*rpcss (put spaces where the (*)’s are.

When you hit enter you will get this message:

Hi, the spooler service is usually set to start automatically when the PC starts up. It sounds as if this may have been changed.
To check this right click on "My Computer" & select "Manage" (4th one down), at the bottom of the list you will see "Services & Applications" - if you click on the + next to it you will see some more options, 1 of which is services.
Click on services & the right hand pain will list all services installed on your machine, it should be in alphabetical order so work down to the "P's" & find "Print Spooler", under startup type it should say automatic if it says anything like Manual or Disabled just double click it & on the window that appears change the setting to automatic using the dropdown box, click on start to start the service & you should be flying!

Let me know how you get on.
