Print Spooler Error 1068 in Canon Printer The dependency service or group failed to start.

When trying to start the Print Spooler Service, Error 1068 means"The dependency service does not exist. or the dependency service or group failed to start."  

Depending on your environment and your type of printer installed, your Print Spooler Service will have other dependent services that must be running before the Print Spooler Service will start.  If the dependent services are not running, you will see an error 1068 or similar message about dependent services when trying to start the Print Spooler Service.

Some canon printers will add their own services to XP and the starting of the Print Spooler Service lists them as dependencies and therefore those canon Services must be running before the Print Spooler service will start.  It may be listed as the LexBce Server.

Do you now or have you ever had have any canon printers installed?  If yes, are you still using the canon printers?

Depending on your printing environment, if you are using another kind of printer, you may have other Service listed in the Dependencies tab of the Print Spooler Service.

Use the XP Services Applet to check the Print Spooler dependencies and options.

Click Start, Run and in the box enter:

services.msc

Click OK to open the Service Applet.

Locate the Print Spooler Service, right click it, choose Properties and then look at the Dependencies tab.  The services listed there must be running before the Print Spooler Service will start.  If they are not running, you will get an error 1068 or similar message about dependent services when trying to start the Print Spooler Service.
