    When closing out MS Powerpoint, a user receive an error message "Print driver host for 32bit applications has stopped working."   The user is able to print but constantly receives error message.  The computer has Windows 7 x64 bit with two HP printer connected.  One printer is connect via the network and the other is connected via USB.  I loaded the printer Windows 7 driver for the network printer.  The USB printer driver came preinstalled with Windows 7.  I have reinstalled the x64 bit drivers and the 32bit drivers and had no luck.  Please assist.

     

    Thanks

    Hi,

     

    I would like to suggest you perform the following troubleshooting suggestions:

     

    1.    Uninstall the printers and only install one of them to check if it is a printer driver confliction issue.

    2.    Test the issue in Clean Boot to check if this is a software confliction issue.

    3.    If both tests cannot work, please refer to the following link and perform the troubleshooting steps manually.

    After working pretty flawlessly for many months, my 64 bit Windows 7 Enterprise system has started randomly throwing out these errors. I use Acronis True Image and rolled by PC back to an earlier image and same problem. Wil try removing printer drivers.

    Cheers, Rob.

    And a minute or so later, the VMware print proxy stopped as well. That could be a knock on effect of the main Windows 7 print server stopping.

    Cheers, Rob.
