No printer to be found?

I was just about to print something off, went to Print Preview but a message popped up saying that no printer was found.  It turns on fine and I checked the wires, they're plugged in.  I went to the Printers and Faxes area, and it's blank, so I clicked on Add a Printer, but it told me the "Print spooler service is not running."

The computer is a Dell Dimension 8400, the printer is also Dell, a combination printer/scanner.  Any ideas as to why it's suddenly not working?

*Slaps forehead*  Well hell, why didn't -I- think of that?

Idiot.  Seriously, unless my boyfriend fucked with it last night, there is no reason why I should be getting this error.
