Win XP I can't install printer, error message says print spooler service not running

[hatred]

I am not able to install printer on Windows XP and getting error message that states - print spooler service not running. Is there anyone who can help me out? Thanks

All you need to do is just start the print spoole service.

Follow the below steps to solve this issue:

1. First of all you need to go to System Properties > Advanced
2. After that select Performance > Settings and then select Data Execution Prevention
3. Now you need to select Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select
4. After that click add and then paste this in to the file name box of the window that opens: C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe
5. You need to select Open and then click OK when you receive the warning and then click Apply
