Printing spool trouble on XP

Hello, I am having problems getting my printer to work. I believe the spool program was deleted or something... I keep getting the error "The print spooler service is not running ".

Is there a way to get it running? Thanks in advance!

 

Click start>run and type services.msc and then click ok. In the window that opens, find the "print spooler" service in the list. Double click on it and in the window that opens, where it says startup type, make sure it's set to automatic. Then, where it says service status, you can click the start button to start the service manually and you should be able to try printing something to see if it works.

If the service was set to disabled or manual, setting it to automatic will make the service start automatically when you start windows so you shouldn't have to do this again.
