I can tell you how to remove the dependency, though. Try this from a
command line:
sc config spooler depend= RPCSS
Note the space after the = but not in front. The spooler uses RPC to
communicate between machines, so it is dependent on that service (RPCSS ==
RPC server service), but it does not need anything else.
Then try to start the spooler again by doing
net start spooler
from a command line.
That allows the spooler to start, but I've seen cases where the Lexmark
driver crashes the spooler if it doesn't find their service. To fix that,
delete the Lexmark stuff, which is somewhat complicated as you can't use the
UI, as the spooler is dead, so you have to cleanup manually as outlined in
that article:

Only do that if the spooler indeed crashes after you remove the dependency.
