Hi!

Can you do a system restore?
If not try doing a repair with the XP disk, this should replace all missing files.

Well, a reboot should restart your spooler service. Is this failing as well? If so, you have larger problems.

Outside chance: look for a copy in:
%systemroot%\system32\dllcache\net.exe

You can also look for other command line tools to restart the spooler service. SC.exe from the resource kit comes to mind.
