windows xp print spooler service missing

Well, I removed some spyware and adware using adaware se and spybot.
everything seems fine exept I cannot print, when I go into printeres nothing
shows up. I click the add printer and I get the message that the print
spooler service is not running. I go into services and the service for the
print spooler is gone. How do I get the service back in the list and how
could it have been taken out?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

I'm having the same problem. The Print Spooler service is not listed in
the local services list for my XP Home nor is spoolsv.exe running. I
have no idea how to re-install the service and I'd like to avoid a
complete re-install of the OS.

Any ideas?

I may be having a similar problem and do not have an answer either. When
issuing the "net start spooler" command, the response is "the system cannot
find the file specified". Not sure where to go from here.
