Thanks.
Have a good day.

go to control panel, administrative tools, services, and turn it on.. hit start and set it to automatic.

click on start ..RUN.....type cmd......type sc config spooler depend= RPCSS......click on start ..RUN......type services.msc.......look for ptrint spooler......it will be started if not then double click on print spooler and click on start.

Now try installing the printer.

One of the most possible reason is related to Print Spooler service. Please check the "Print Spooler" service if its turned on. if its not you can turn it on. Here is the way to go Services screen

• go to start menu then run and type "services.msc" then hit enter
  
• locate the Print Spooler service in the services list
• Change turn it on  switch to Automatic mode

Try reinstall
Good Luck
