A problem with the printer

R

Ranger07

I've a laser jet printer "hp LaserJet 1000 series" & it was
working fine until yesterday when
I tried to print a web page, my internet browser shut down & then when
I tried to check
the printer, it was gone!!

I didn't find it in the printers & faxes folder. I tried "add a
printer" & it gave me this error
message

"Operation could not be completed. The printer spooler service is not
running"

What that mean & how I can fix it. I'm using XP SP 2.

Thanks

From a command prompt type NET START SPOOLER and press enter, see if that helps.
