Try Start-->Run-->net start spooler then click OK

Sometimes you get that error when the print spooler isn't started.

You can also check Start-->Run-->Services.msc then click OK

...here's where you can verify that the print spooler service isn't set to "disabled"...if it is then set it to "manual" or "automatic".
