In Windows XP home, my printers magically disappeard, and whenever I tried
to add them, it said operation cannot be completed, so I checked the
knowledge base and it said to set the printer spooler to start in the
services section from Administrative Tools, I went and saw it wasn't
started, but when I clicked start this service a message came up saying
"cannot start printer spooler on local computer

Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified"
Any idea why this happens, what this file is and how to fix it?
 
I have the EXACT same problem. One day my printer works just fine and the next I am supposed to add printer but I can not do so, same error messages. Did you find a fix yet?? If so, can you share what you did to correct. Thanks
