Every time I try to install a printer on this one PC, the Spooler crashes and the installation fails. PC is brand new. Through troubleshooting, I found out that anytime I try to do anything with the printers, the spooler fails, like trying to delete drivers.
When the spooler crashes, this error is generated:
- Faulting application name: spoolsv.exe, version: 6.3.9600.17480, time stamp: 0x54585db9
- Faulting module name: hpb6sy2917_x64gui.dll, version: 13.2.0.0, time stamp: 0x5553b101
- Exception code: 0xc0000005

- Faulting process id: 0x10e0
- Faulting application start time: 0x01d11b2357d095b2
- Faulting application path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\spoolsv.exe
- Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\DRIVERS\x64\3\hpb6sy2917_x64gui.dll
- Report Id: baaa4645-8716-11e5-be88-8cdcd453c6a8
- Faulting package full name:
- Faulting package-relative application ID:
Obviously, I have tried manually starting the service, and it does start, but as soon as I try anything, it crashes again.
“SFC /Scannow” found errors, but could not fix.
“dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth” completed successfully.
I’m at my wits end, any help will be appreciated.

1Crap HP printer drivers strike again. You're probably going to have to manually hunt and destroy references to the printer form the Registry, then uninstall the drivers, and then try newest ones from HP. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2015-11-10T15:33:03.840
That worked. Purged all HP items and reboot. Everything worked great after all the HP stuff was yanked out. Thank you! – Ian Hawkins – 2015-11-10T20:19:34.887
