There are reports of these issues when one attempts to install the printer AND attempts to share it BUT there is some generic network/firewall/domain misconfiguration.

See:

Particularly see if this is your case:

If you cannot actually start the Add Printer it may be a different issue, still doing an SFC /scannow and rechecking the mentioned services won't do any harm.

There also reports of the issue being connected with the spooler service stopping itself and/or some mixup with the RPC service and RPCSS and HTTP services as dependencies, see:
