As another posting stated, Google is your friend, and it turned up
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_does_'Error_1068_The_Dependency_Service_or_Group_Failed_To_Start'_appear_when_starting_the_remote_access_auto_connection_manager_or_print_spooler_in_Windows_XP
But you, yourself, may have described the real problem: There appears to be no
printer. At this point, you may simply have to reinstall the printer drivers.
In the future, do not mess around moving the entirety of "Documents and
Settings" for a user. Windows keeps important and often hidden system-level
information there, and, as you see in the result of your well-meaning work,
Windows gets itself confused when you do so.
Normally, it is sufficient to move everything from "My Documents" for a user,
then drill down to find the Microsoft email data, either Outlook or Outlook
Express. Microsoft takes pains to hide email In Box, Sent Mail etc fairly well,
making it vert difficult to move this data between Users on the same computer or
between computers. You also need to move the "Favorites" folder separately.
With Microsoft Office products, Office 2000 or later, you also have to reinstall
the software for each new user added. The reinstallation is a short affair
using the Office CD(s).
If you literally "Move"-d the data, rather than "Copy"-ing it, you definitely
left Windows in a confused state. Copying everything from a user's "Documents
and Settings" might have achieved the effect you wanted... Ben Myers

This is new: only recent change was reorganization
of accounts for Admin and User (limited).
1a. Attempt to print gets message Print Spooler is not
turned on.
1b. In / Admin Tools / Services, spooler is shown
stopped. Attempt to turn it on gets Error 1068 -- not
(yet) found in MS KB.)
2. Start / Printers is wholly blank, i.e. clicking on
Add a Printer does nothing (but this window can be
closed OK.)

what exactly did you do for "reorganization of accounts"???
Owner was running all the time as Administrator (no pw.)
I created a User account for her everyday use, cloned to it
all Docs & Settings of the earlier sole (Admin) account,
created a new Admin account and cloned to it all Docs &
Settings from the same file.
if the print spooler service is not running, you will not be able to do
anything to printers.
follow ben's advise and start from the admin account and see if it works.
Yes, printer was tested from Admin. account.
1. /Control Panel / Admin / Services finds Printer Spooler
function set off. Trying to Start spool function produces
"Error 1068" (nothing for this in the help file.)
2. Control Panel / Printers shows wholly blank
2a. Previously installed printer (Dell printer on Dell PC,
supplied preconfigured by Dell) does not appear.
2b. Function /Add a printer does nothing and generates
error message "Error 1068"
So I doubt tidying up accounts is the cause -- and
what does Error 1068 signify. (First listings in MS KB
appear to concern only applications e.g. Outlook, or Vista,
not present here.)
