  • "Windows failed to start the service on Local computer print spooler. Error 1068: the dependency service or group could start. »

    I fiddle with my startup programs and now I have this error message: "Windows could not start service on Local computer print spooler.  Error 1068: the dependency service or group could start. "There is no printer listed everywhere and nothing works.

    Hi Jkoryzna,

    Thank you for choosing the Microsoft Answers forum.

    To solve the problem, fix the dependency for the spooler service information.

    Click Start, run and type the following text:

    CMD /K SC CONFIG SPOOLER DEPEND = RPCSS

    Alternatively, to achieve this by using the Registry Editor:

    Click Start, run and type Regedit.exe

    Navigate to the following branch

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SYSTEM-CurrentControlSet-Services-spooler

    In the right pane, double-click the DependOnService value

    Delete existing data and then type RPCSS

    Close Regedit.exe.

  • Unable to connect to networks wireless on laptop Windows 7 Enterprise. Cannot start the autoconfiguration WLAN service. "Error 1068: the dependency service or group could start."

    original title: cannot start service autoconfiguration WLAN and EAP services

    I am not able to connect to my wireless network. When tried to connect, it shows just "unable to connect."

    I have the Intel WiFiLink 5100 adapter with the latest driver for Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit installed. The laptop is not a wireless connection manager and I am trying to connect using the Windows wireless connection manager.

    I checked in the Services and found that service autoconfiguration WLAN and Extensible Authentication Protocol services are not running.

    When I tried to start the WLAN auto configuration service, I get the following error...
         Windows could not start the service WLAN autoconfiguration on Local computer.
         Error 1068: The dependency service or group could start.

    When I tried to start the service of Extensible Authentication Protocol, I get this error...
         Windows could not start the service on Local computer Extensible Authentication Protocol.
         Error 1053: The service did not demand launch or timely control.

    I found that all dependent services for the EAP are running. And all dependent services for autoconfiguration WLAN service are running except the EAP service.

    I searched the internet for the solution madly before posting here. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    When you try to start a few automatic services (who of course has not started automatically) I get this error. Check the list of dependencies for each service they all list the HTTP Service. I have run this command: beginning of config sc = HTTP request and get a message that it succeeded, and restart the computer. No change. I run and do not restart the computer - no change. I ran sfc/scannow just in case he might find something but nothing. I even reinstalled the upgrade of Windows 8 thinking it could replace all of the corrupt files. No change. I wonder if it can also be the source of some other problems I'm having. With a certain Windows update for example.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    After you determine that the 'http' service was one of the dependencies for the print spooler start, and after finding that there is no such service listed, I came across this answer, which will allow you to CHANGE the dependencies. Basically, I deleted 'http service'. Click on the link below and scroll down to "method 3".

  • Print Spooler error 1068: the dependency service or group could start. __

    I tried - unsuccessfully - restart the print spooler on a box of XP with SP3.  I read the previous posts for this error and this box refuses to restart the service.

    Is there an easy way to fix this without reverting to a system reset?  Can I run a repair?  If so, it will fix the problem?  I tried to run a restore of the system to a previous date and who could not do anything for me either.

    When you attempt to start the Print Spooler Service, error 1068 means "the dependency service does not exist. the dependency service or group was able to start. »

    Depending on your environment and your type of printer installed, your Print Spooler Service will have other dependent services that must run before the Print Spooler Service starts.  If the dependent services do not work, you will see an error 1068 or a similar message on the dependent services when you try to start the Print Spooler Service.

    Some Lexmark printers add their own XP services and start the Print Spooler Service, lists them as dependencies and that is why these Lexmark Services must run before the print service spooler will begin.  It may be listed as the LexBce Server.

    You now or have you ever have all installed Lexmark printers?  If Yes, do you still use Lexmark printers?

    Depending on your printing environment, if you use another type of printer, you can have other Service listed tab in the Print Spooler Service dependencies.

    Use the Applet of Services XP to check the dependencies of print spooler and options.

    Click Start, run and enter in the box:

    services.msc

    Click OK to open the Services Applet.

    Locate the Print Spooler Service, right-click, choose Properties, and then look at the Dependencies tab.  Services listed there must run before the Print Spooler Service starts.  If they don't, you'll get an error 1068 or a similar message on the dependent services when you try to start the Print Spooler Service.

    You should always see the service remote procedure call (RPC) and maybe a few others depending on the type of printer that you have installed (Lexmark printers can add some dependency Services to your configuration of XP).  All dependent services must run before the Print Spooler Service starts.

    Dependent Services may vary according to the type of printer that you have installed.

    The RPC service is also required for many other things to work properly and is usually still running and the autostart value.

    If the RPC Service does not work and does not start automatically, you can have other problems, but start with the easy stuff first.

    Of the Services Applet, find the service remote procedure call (RPC) and if it does not, right-click and start it and set it to automatic.

    Then find and all the other print spooler dependency services listed in the Print Spooler Service Dependencies tab.  They will be lance automatically the next time you reboot your system (if that is your desire), set the startup type for these Services to automatic.

    When everything works as you want, restart and check your Services again to be sure that they start correctly and solve any addition
    questions.

    If the remote procedure call (RPC) service is not listed as a dependency for your Print Spooler Service, you must inform XP that the print spooler service depends on the RPC service.

    Click Start, run, and in the box type (including important space after the "equal" sign):

    dependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS

    Click OK to assign the RPC service for the print spooler service, and then make sure that the RPC Service is running and start your Print Spooler Service.

    If you still can not understand it, react with the items that you see the tab of the Print Spooler Service dependencies.

    Don't forget to restart and check that everything works correctly after each adjustment.

    Please note that using the above command will effectively remove all the current (and perhaps old) Print Spooler dependency assigned for the Print Spooler Service and assign it only dependent on the RPC Service.  It would be 'normal '.

    The dependence of CPP Service would be typical of most facilities, or after you have uninstalled all the time some printers (Lexmark), but your printer may have a few other dependencies.  If it still does not respond, we'll fix it!

    Do, or do not. There is no test.

    I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!
