received error 1920 service print spooler failed to start verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services

In installing Adobe XI Pro this error message was received "error 1920 service print spooler failed to start verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". What does this mean and how can I get this installed?

It very much means what it says - you do not have sufficient administrative privileges and something on your system is blocking the (virtual) PDF printer driver from being installed.

Not necessaryily true.  I'm a Administrator on our network and a Local Administrator on my computer and still get the error 1920 on trying to apply an Acrobat DC update.   Doesn't appear to have anything to do with "Permissions on the computer".   Even after an uninstall / reinstall of Acrobat DC.   I have found no solution to this yet but still attempting.

this is a very old thread with old information.
