Problems adding a printer in XP Pro

My computer dumped all of my printers. When I tried to add a printer, I got
an error message stating, "Operation could not be completed. The print
spooler service is not running". I've started the print spooler, started the
service it depended on to start, run through every troubleshooting method I
know of, and I still can't get a printer to load. Microsoft states that this
is a known problem, but offers no solution. Has anyone encountered this
problem and fixed it?
