I'm an artist who uses a wide-format printer (Canon Pixma 9000 MkII). Everything with it has been fine, until this week Windows decided my printer doesn't exist.
When I attempted to update my printer driver, it was revealed that my print spooler is stopped. When I try to restart it, I get this error:
Windows could not start the Print Spooler service on Local Computer.
Error 0x800706b9: Not enough resources are available to complete this operation.
It's been a wild goose chase to be honest. I've cleared out my registry and errors with CC Cleaner, I went into Windows Features and got .NET Framework 3.5 working, but when I go to Print and Document Services to turn on LPD Print Service and LPR Port Monitor (which are unchecked), I get this error:
Windows couldn't complete the requested changes.
The changes couldn't be completed. Please reboot your computer and try again.
Error code: 0x800F0922
Googling it just circles back to .NET framework or installation issues, which I thought I fixed. I spent some time in the administrator command prompt. I've followed just about every tutorial I could find. In my CBS log, this showed up after a scan:

I'm not savvy enough to know what this means. Attempted to figure out how to repair it, but nothing has worked. I assume it's connected if it deals with printer drivers?
I've tried Tweaking.com's Windows All-in-One repair for the print spooler to no avail. Pretty much every solution I've seen suggested (include on this forum) hasn't worked. I've been trying to fix this for a solid five hours and have gotten nowhere. I'm trying realllllly hard to avoid having to do an OS reinstall.
Any ideas? I can't find anyone else running in to these particular roadblocks.
