Error: Operation could not be completed when installing a Printer

I am trying to connect a Printer with the Computer by using the 'Add Printer' wizard. However, the Computer is displaying the error: "Operation could not be completed. The RPC Server is unavailable."

I read on forums that it is related to some print spooler service. How do I resolve this issue?
Thanks

The error Operation could not

The error Operation could not be completed. The RPC Server is unavailable will be displayed when installing a printer if the Print Spooler service is not started in the operating system.

Please start the Print Spooler service as mentioned in the article:
