print spooler refuses to enable

message from =?Utf-8?B?cGF0cmljaw==?= on 4 Jun 2004
Print spooler suddenly refused to activate. Have found it in Admin Tools/System and I change it to start and it changes back to stop. It is on automatic. The box saying "apply" is dead and I can only press OK. Can anyone advise
