I have tried many other solutions given on Microsoft website, or starting word in administrator mode, creating a new user in Windows 7. The splwow64.exe error, and after I click OK and select the dopdfv7 printer the same error appears on dopdfcl7.exe “The application was unable to start correctly (0xc0000005).
I open Microsoft Word Starter 2010 which came included with my Windows 7 Home Basic 64-Bit and as soon as I tried to print there it is again. Then I re-installed dopdf v7 and it created a new “dopdf v7” printer for me. I rant the script by double clicking it, in cmd (as administrator) removed all my printer devices. It hasn’t worked for me and I am tired of this error. I created a batch file that does it all automagically, No guaranteees though.
Your printer should now be working correctly again. Remove all your printers by right-clicking and choosing “Remove device”, then re-add them with the “Add a device” button. Now you have to open the “Devices and Printers” windows, wait a few seconds until it has properly initialized and started up(right-click -> refresh). The next step is very important, if you don’t do it your printer might spew out a ton of paper with random scriblings on it due to not having a working driver installed. Restart the printer spooler by typing this command into CMD: net start spooler. Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\圆4\3 and delete all the files and folders inside of there as well, you might have to use IOBit Unlocker to delete some locked files. Navigate to C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\printers\ and delete all the files inside. Right-click cmd.exe and click “Run as administrator”. When that is done you need to open Command Prompt (CMD) as an Administrator Go into Version-3 and delete all of the values. Under that path there will be a key called Version-3.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows 圆4\Drivers. Open Regedit(Windows key + R -> type “Regedit” -> Press Enter). I googled around and found a technet article with this fix in it, It worked after some modifications. X2utilc7.dll is a driver that is related to Xerox Printers (I think), Most likely the Xerox Workcenter series, As those are the ones we’re using. This issue was thrown in my lap the other day when a user called our tech support line and told me that her computer would not print from any program due to a popup box telling her something along the lines of “Splwow64 error: could not find x2utilc7.dll” or something like that.
If you’ve ever had the misfortune of having a printer in your home, chances are that your computer has complained about not being able to print for whatever reason.
