Nick: the response you got to the "sc" command means that it was not keyed
correctly and "sc" did not understand what you were asking it to do.

The command you need is:
 sc config spooler depend= RPCSS

Looks like you left out the word "depend".

I've added extra spaces in the command above to help you see where the
spaces go.
