Here is the solution, go to the following website:

Bullet # 7 says: “you cannot add a printer and you receive printer spooler error messages in Windows XP”

Clicking on this link takes you to the actual spooler problem list

Scroll down to the tab called “fix it for me”

To fix this problem automatically by Microsoft you have to click on the fix it box (Microsoft Fix it 50126d) and follow the instructions
This is the only solution I have found that actually works
