I have to assume that you are running a windows OS. the spooler is a service which should start automatically when you boot, if you have printers installed. you MUST have enough free memory for the service to start and you MUST have enough free disk space for it to run. you can find the service in control panel->administrative tools->services, or right click on My Computer, click on manage and then click on services at the bottom right hand side. if the spooler service will not start, then check the log control panel-.administrative tools->event viewer. this should tell you why.
Try to print a document again to verify that the problem is fixed.
1. Browse to Start -> Run... and type in NET STOP SPOOLER (this will stop the
print spooler service)
2. Browse to your windows\system32\spool\PRINTERS\
folder. You should see files there ending in .SPL and .SHD created around the
time you tried to print - delete these files.
3. Browse to Start -> Run... and type in NET START SPOOLER (this will restart the
print spooler service)
