windows xp print spooler service missing

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.print_fax (More info?)

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
