Printer problems and services

I turned off a load of services that I thought I wouldn't need in win2k pro and now I can't get my printer to work anymore. When windows boots, it tries to install the printer but comes back with a message saying that it needs the RPC server but I can't find that service anywhere.

When windows boots, it tries to install the printer but comes back with a message saying that it needs the RPC server but I can't find that service anywhere. Does anyone know which services have to be on for the printer to work again?
 
Thanks.

I did that, also, a few weeks back. The best solution is you screwed it up--you fix it. Try setting them to automatic one-at-a-time until you find the combination that works.
