Missing printer drivers

Recently, I installed the Windows XP (home) SP2 upgrade.
After doing so my printer drivers disappeared. I try to
reinstall the drivers by clicking on the add printer
option in the Printers/Fax control panel. I immediately
get an error that reads, "Operation could not be
completed. The print spooler service is not running."

Any ideas on what is causing this error to occur, and how
can I fix this annoying issue?
