Download NTPRINT.EXE, extract and copy NPRINTER.EXE and NPRINTER.CPL to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32
Run NPRINTER.EXE /I
Note, that "C:\Windows\System32" is not a "proper" directory for NPRINTER.EXE and pretty likely will fail. So, start it from "C:\X", a network drive or from any other place where there are no long file (directory) names, and no mix of capital and lower letters.
After this, you have a service, but - even after setting its start method to automatic - very often it will fail to start. So create a batch file and make it run at startup (startup folder, or run key in the registry). Because the service still won't start just by starting it once, the batch file should keep on trying to start the service until it is really started. Hint: use PsService for this.
