Suddenly this afternoon I can not print. Windows tells me that the print
spooler service is not running. I have started the print spooler several
times and verified that it starts automatically.No matter what printer
related action I try to take (install, delete, open properties, etc), I
recieve the message "Operation could not be completed. The print spooler
service is not running."

Again, I have already tried the starting the print spooler solution, but
when I try to do something in the control panel that involves printers, the
print spoolers stops.

Help, please.

First thing to try is a System Restore to a recent date when everything
worked.
