Print Spooler. Manages all local and network print queues, and controls all printing jobs.
Remote Procedure Call (RPC). Services applications using RPC or COM services.
Telephony. Provides telephony API (TAPI) support for clients using programs that control telephone-based devices and IP-based voice connections.
