Cannot install WIN2k SP2 - No print spooler

[Andrew Frost]

COMPAQ DL580 WIN2K Adv Server SP1. 
 
Try to install SP2 and get a message cannot install as the print spooler is
not running. 
The spooler does not appear in the service list and net start spooler
returns service name is invalid. 
Tried to reinstall SP1 and get the same message. 

Any ideas appreciated. In fact I did not know you could have a install
without that service installed. TIA
