Printer have disappeared !

[Pylie]

All my printers have gone off the system.

When you run a print it says you have no printers installed.

When you try to run the Printers Folder it doesnt fire up.

All services are running (Print Spooler).

Thoughts ?

No changes have been made to the system ...........

The spooler state is uncertain when there are issues such as yours.
It may in fact report it is running when it is not. In any case, work through these series of repair steps:
