Default Print Spooler Service Stopped on Networked PCs

I have an HP Officejet 6310xi connected to a printer on a home network
running Windows XP 5.1.2600. It has worked fine for two weeks. Suddenly we
are only able to print from the PC the printer is connected to. When I try
to add the printer or view the printer properties on the other PC's I receive
the message that the printer spooler service is not running. When I check
the printer spooler service on the PC as well as the PC the printer is
attached to, the printer spooler is active.

I have stopped the printer spoolers and restarted them. I have rebooted the
PCs numerous times.

I reloaded spoolsv.exe on the PC the printer is attached to.

HELP!! Any suggetions will be appreciated

The PCs that are not connected to the printer have corrupted printer
drivers. Uninstall and reinstall the printer on those PCs.

I can't reinstall the printer because it is not found due to the print
spooler error.

Use Bruce Sanderson's instructions to clean the spooler.... and then
reinstall.
