Installing printer software fails because of following error message:
"The Print spooler service is not running"
The computer error log reads: The Print Spooler service failed to start due
to the following error: Access is denied.
The printer dialogue box in the "Control Panel" reports:: "Could not start
the Print spooler on local computer - error 5, access is denied"

Solutions please! OS = XP home sp2
 
Does this help?

You experience problems printing, viewing printer icons, and adding printers, the Print Spooler service does not function correctly, and you receive print-related error messages on a Windows XP-based computer:
