Windows 7 "Unable to add printer" (Network printer)


Unable to add printer to windows 7 it just bombs out saying the print spooler isnt' running.
Restart spooler but it just shuts itself down again almost immediately.

1. Check spooler dependancies 
2. Stop spooler
3. Navigate to c:\windows\system32\spool\DRIVERS\  --> delete everything
4. Restart spooler service
5. Add network printers

My issue is a corrupt printer driver.
