No, I do not know how to even delete it from the list of services.
You can download the Windows resource kit and run the cleanspl.exe file.
This tool will delete all printers and drivers on your system and will
cleanup the spooler registry. When prompted, Do NOT remove the Standard
TCP/IP monitor. I do not think this will add the spooler service back to
the list.
The file is about 15MB, extract the file and find the cleanspl.exe file.
Read the prompts as you go.

If Print Spooler is not in the service list I am
unsure
what to do. There
is some registry info in the KB articles.

I cannot add a printer and I get the message "Operation
could not be completed," and when I hotplug my printer,
it begins to install, but says installation failed "The
RPC server is unavailable." I do not have a Printer
Spooler listed in my Services. I do not know what
to
do.
