Recently, I have more access to my printers

Everything was fine until last night when I got a mssage not being able to run my printer spooler.

I had not changed (knowingly) anything - I was trying to print a Word document and nothng happened - don't not even an error message.

Now when I go in the folder "Printer & faxes" on the control panel there is nothing there.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers (Samsung) I get an error message that no action can be completed.

Help!
