Print to PDF - Thunking spooler stops working

When you print a document in Word 2007 to create a PDF file (I have Acrobat 9), I now get an error message that says "Thunking spooler APIs from 32 to 64 process has stopped working".  The PDF is created, but that part of the document is printed.  I did that for awhile on this system, XP Edition Vista 64 family, without problem.  But recently it started and I can't create PDF documents in Word 2007.  When searching on the microsoft.com site, I can't find anything on it.  Thanks in advance for any help.

markbgardner,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

If it is a 64-bit version of Vista, then your problem may be related to the try to print from a 32-bit program on a 64-bit operating system.  There is a fix for this problem here:

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/941962/en-us

If that solves not, try to uninstall and reinstall the printer driver.  It is possible that the drive got corrupted.

Also try to run a System File Checker:
To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
sfc/scannow
When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

If this does not work, you can do a system restore to a point in time where he worked:
To restore the operating system to an earlier point in time, follow these steps:
Click Start, type system restore in the search box, and then click System Restore in the list programs.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
In the System Restore dialog box, click on choose a different restore point and then click Next.
In the list of restore points, click a restore point created before you started having the problem, and then click Next.
Click Finish.
The computer restarts and system files and settings are back to the State they were in when the restore point was created.

  • Printing status window Interface has stopped working

    I have a new computer with Windows 8 and an old printer Dell720.  I found a driver and the printer works with the new computer.  The printer was working without any problems, when I received the message "the Print status window Interface has stopped working".  I also had a "Low Ink" pop-up window.

    Any help to solve this problem would be appreciated.

    OK, I found a way to deal with my problem.  Apparently the problem centered around the printer sends a message to the computer that the ink cartridge is low on ink.  I said to the computer I installed a new print cartridge (but I do not actually have) and now the printer works.

  • At the opening of my Compaq Presario I get the Microsoft message "Printer Card transfer Monitor has stopped working"

    I have a Lexmark X 6570 all in one. I tried to restore to comm. between the printer and my Compaq. I uninstalled the Lexmark program (twice) and then downloaded the latest driver from Lexmark, but always the same message. What can I do to recover my printer? It is very important for me. In addition, the message in the window of the printer when I try to scan shows "cannot download the application list. Can someone help me with this? As you can probably see, I'm not very 'computer', but I can follow directions! Thank you and have a great day!

    I assume you are using the wireless printer. You have made no changes to the network recently? For example, new router or wireless password has changed.

    For the problem of scan, I found the following procedure works.

    • Enter the IP address of the printer in the address bar of your browser and press ENTER. If you do not know the IP address, print a Network Setup page using the procedure shown on page 52 of thehttp://www.lexmark.com/publications/pdfs/2007/6500/v4897402_en.pdf user's guide. The address will be probably 192.168.x.y where x.y is the number assigned to the printer.
    • Now, you will be connected to an administrative page on the printer.
    • Select Configuration.
    • Select a scan in the management of network hosts.
    • Check users to delete all registered.
    • Select Remove.
    • Try to start a new search.

  • HP 5740 all-in-one: print HP 5740 Air has stopped working

    Well worked for 8 weeks, now when I try to print a page of reception or what ever, it shows all the print pages option, shows the name of the printer, but nothing happens to the printer if I ping the printer, it will not receive all the packs to date, the router receives all packets, I printed out the Page of Configuration of HP network , it showseverything turned on and connected.

    Hey @jmichaelmcf,

    I see you have some problems with your Mac OSX 10.11 machine printing to your Officejet 5740 e-all-in-one printer. I can help you with that.

    To start, make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done:

    1. Turn off the printer and the Mac.
    2. While the devices are turned off, disconnect the power cable from the back of the router for a minute.
    3. When the lights come back on the router, turn on the printer and the Mac.
    4. On your Mac, click on your Apple icon, system preferences and printers and Scanners.
    5. Hold down the CTRL key and click the icon of your printer on the left.
    6. Click on reset printing system.
    7. Click on the button "+" at the bottom left.
    8. In the window that appears, select your printer in the list.
    9. Click in the box next to and select your printer from the list.

    Please let me know the results of the rest of the foregoing. If you are able to print, click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

  • HP printer/fax machine has suddenly stopped working

    Original title: the printer does not work

    my HP printer/fax machine went offline and stays there.  I checked the settings and changed the cable... ideas?

    You seem to have ignored quite some suggestions listed on the page linked by John Rubdy.

    If I had to guess, I guess that your problem caused by him having configured your printer to get his IP address of the router automatically (e.g. DHCP) and that the router has assigned a different IP address that has been assigned during the first installation of the printer.

    See "solution 3" to the page linked above.  Even if the driver of HP has a box to "always print to this device even if its IP address changes", it is much better to assign a static IP address to the printer, and then set the port to point to this address.  Choose an address in the same subnet (first 3 groups of digits are the same), but outside the range assigned by the router.  For example, if the DHCP server on the router assigns addresses such as 192.168.1.100, 192.168.1.101, 192.168.1.103, etc. assign the printer an address as 192.168.1.50.

    Steps to follow:

    • Print a network diagnostic page to determine which IP address has been assigned to the printer (see the printer User Guide for instructions)
    • Open the Configure Port dialog as described in "solution 3".
    • If the IP address in the dialog box, configure the Port is not the same as that on the Network Diagnostics page, that's the problem.
  • Search in the internal pdf viewer has stopped working

    Cntrl-F brings up find ok, but after that no hits ever.

    It could be the work of one of your modules. Type of topic: addons in the address bar to open your add-ons Manager. Access key; (Mac=) A)

    In the Manager of Add-ons, on the left, select Extensions. Disable some add-ons, then restart Firefox.

    Some added toolbar and modules of Kaspersky Anti-virus are known to cause problems with Firefox. Disable all of them.

    If the problem persists, disable some more (restarting FF). Keep doing this until the problem is gone. After, you know which group is the origin of the problem. Reactivate the last group ONE AT A TIME (reboot FF) until the problem reports.

    Once you think that you have found the issue, that disable and reactivate all the others, then stop and try again. Let us know who the suspect is, detective.
