I just got a new printer (Canon PIXMA iP4600) and every single time I try to install it I get this wonderful error:

"Processing cannot be continued because the Print Spooler service has been stopped. Restart the computer to start the Print Spooler service and then try again."

Every solution I've found on google so far has failed. This includes going through the registry and deleting all past printers (only had an old Canon i960); restarting the spooler service (which I don't even seemingly have under services (well, I have a Spooler service but not a Print Spooler and trying to access the properties ends in an error)); as well as other options.

I have vista ultimate sp1.

Any thoughts? Is there some place to download and reinstall the spooler from scratch?
