Thanks Steven,

HP was my first port of call and they have already passed the back to MS.

Dear Matt,

I understand that the HP support has passed you to Microsoft. However, if
the issue remains after performing all troubleshooting steps I provided, it
is possible that the cause of our issue is still at the hardware device
side.

After searching in our internal database, I found the following articles
and we may perform steps in them:

How to troubleshoot problems that you may experience when you try to print
to a local printer by using Office programs in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/870622/

Advanced troubleshooting for when you cannot print in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314085/

You receive an error message if you try to print a document on Windows
2000-based and Windows XP-based computers
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/873396/

Have a nice day.

Best regards,

Steven Du

Dear Matt,

Please expand "Show hotfixes for all platforms and languages" on the hotfix
download page to find the x64 version.

In addition, that hotfix is also included in Windows XP Service Pack 2 x64
edition and we may download it from the link below:

Service Pack 2 for Windows XP Professional, x64 Edition
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=893FD6C0-6283-44C3-
BB84-B2F0315B2AE6&displaylang=en

Have a nice day.

Best regards,

Steven Du

Thanks Steven,


I think I must be going blind as I can't find "Show hotfixes for all
platforms and languages" on the download page. I will try SP2 but to my
knowledge it is already installed.

I'll keep you posted.

Dear Matt,

To find out the root cause of this issue we may need to analyze memory
dumps, this work has to be done by contacting Microsoft Product Support
Services. Therefore, we probably will not be able to resolve the issue
through the newsgroups. If the issue is urgent, I recommend that you open a
Support incident with Microsoft Product Support Services so that a
dedicated Support Professional can assist with this case. If you need any
help in this regard, please let me know.

For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers,
please go to the following address on the World Wide Web:
http://support.microsoft.com/directory/overview.asp

Have a nice day.

Steven Du

Steven,

I think I may have resolved the problem. On the x64 machines that were
experiencing the problem, I removed the network printers and reconnected them
using local ports.

They all seem to be working now.

Thanks for your help,
Matt
