print spooler

I experienced a problem with my print spooler requiring it to shutdown. I tried restarting but after about 10 seconds it failed again. Rebooted, same thing, downloaded the toolkit and deleted the spooler. This also removed my printers (1 b/w laser, 1 color), I can hook the printers up to my other computer and it works fine. When I try to reinstall the printer on this machine it wont pick it up. I'm using usb2 thru a usb2 hub, and when I plug it in the computer picks up that something was plugged in but nothing else happens. I've tried going straight to the computer bypassing the hub but have the same effect. I've searched for information regarding this problem but cant find a reference of this exact problem. I'm close to wiping my hd and reloading but hate to do that if I can restore. Class is starting for my wife and I next week so if I cant fix it this week then i'll just do that, please help.
