Printer Problems in XP

Recommended Posts

Everytime that I try to print something I get the following message:

Runtime Error!

Program: ....

This application has requested the runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

This happens on every single program that I try to print from, including notepad. Does anyone know what could be going wrong? Thanks a lot.

You may need to reinstall your drivers or printer software. Uninstall your printer software and reinstall from the disk you recieved when you purchased.

What is your printer manufacturer/model?

I think it would also benefit to run Crap cleaner after the uninstall, and also RegScrub XP if you use Windows XP. This will get rid of any bits of corruption left behind.

As Scarecrow Man said a make and model would be handy ;)

Has it worked before ?

Did you install software as instructions ?

My HP printer had to have software installed before even connecting printer.

Epsons also need the software installing BEFORE the printer is switched on. Including my own I have installed four Epsons, and all were the same instructions.

Just to add my bit:

When you remove the printer software, do it from the Printers and Faxes in the Start menu. Do not do it from Add/Remove.

When you re-install, do it EXACTLY according to the instructions given with the printer. Even small deviations from the correct method can result in a faulty, or no, install. This is especially the case with Epson machines.
