Comment:

When I attempt to add a printer on this system, I get the following error:
"Operation could not be completed. The RPC server is unavilable."
Checking MS Support turns up potential problems with the spoolss.dll and spoolss.exe files. Therefore, I restored these files from a known working system with identical configuration and rebooted. The problem still continues.
The Spooler service is not running. When I attempt to start the Spooler service, I get the following error:
"Could not start the Spooler service on \\<name>. Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly."
No further information is available.
