uh im running xp pro sp2 and until very recently my printer was working fine. but in the past week or so everytime i try to print something a warning shows up that says "operation could not be completed. the print spooler service is not running" and apparently there is no printer for my computer and whenever i try to add a printer the same warning thing shows up.

You have not been reading any of those stupid misinformative tweaking guides telling you to disable services, have you? Any just set the Print Spooler service to automatic and start it by going to start -> run and type "services.msc"
 
Re-install your printer drivers with the print spooler service enabled, and it wouldn't hurt to download the newest version of the driver from the printers manufacturer.. Hope it helps..
