OS cant Add Printer

Comment:
Somehow, my OS (w2k-pro) lost my printer and can't find it anymore. It disappeared from my list of printers (it was the only one), so I tried to use the 'Add Printer' to add it back in, but I get the error message:
###
(Control Panel > Printers > Add Printer)
"Printer operation cannot continue due to lack of resources. The print subsystem is unavailable."
###
What happened? Why is my OS unable to 'Add Printer'? The printer software and drivers are all still there. My printer is fully operational and ready to go, but my OS won't 'talk' to it.
