Your spooler service has stoped or hasn't been started. Go to services in control panel. Scroll down, select "spooler service," right click on it and select "start" or "restart," whichever is available and then try again.

Did you have a virus scanner running when you applied the service pack?

If so, disable the scanner and reapply the patch.
