Unable To Install Printer 0x000003eb
0 Sign in to vote I have a newDell computer and a new operation failed with error 0x000003eb modelHP Pro 400 color laserjet printer. I crashed the computer during the HP software installation. I know what caused the unable to install printer. operation could not be completed windows 7 crash so that is no problem. The software automatically uninstalled. Now I cannot add almost any printer getting:"Unable to install printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000003EB)". By saying almost any printer,
Error 0x000003eb During Driver Installation
I mean I can go to Add Printer, select almost any manufacturer, select almost any model, select LPT1 or an IP port (doesn't matter), and I get the error. The only exception is that I can install any PostScript printer. I can duplicate this problem on multiple computers as long as I get the right circumstances. I can probably fix this by reinstalling Windows, but I would
0x000003eb Windows 10
like to know what HP software changed, and I would like to fix it. I feel like this could be an easy fix if I only knew where to look. I've done all the usual things. I forgot to say that it looks like the drivers install, at least they show up in Printui /s. I can delete the drivers. I called HP, they remoted in, and said the problem is in Windows because it will not install other printers. This is driving me crazy looking for a solution. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

Backup registry before you do anything!!!! Stop "Print Spooler" service first Then base on your platform delete all keys below the version-3 for 32 bit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-3 for 64 bit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows x64\Drivers\Version-3 go to the folder "3" C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3 rename it to "3.old" Start the "Print Spooler" again and install your printers Marked as answer by catman81 Tuesday, September 25, 2012 1:08 AM Saturday, S

that worked for me 0x000003eb printing error... a fix that worked for me New 19 May 2012 #1 dlong163 View Profile View Forum Posts Newbie Join Date : May 2012 Posts : 2 Vista Ultimate 64bit Local Time: 18:51 0x000003eb printing error... a fix that http://www.vistax64.com/drivers/296350-0x000003eb-printing-error-fix-worked-me.html worked for me I've seen a lot of people chatting on threads about either being unable to fix the 0x000003eb error when installing a printer driver, or they have to find a workaround, which still doesn't work for everyone. So, I want to throw one more option out there that worked for me. Here is what I tried, followed by the solution. OS: Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium. First, I tried reinstalling the printer through "Printers" in Control Panel. I unable to tried several times, tried creating local ports, tried deleting ports, removed drivers, and that did not work. I then tried navigating to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors and deleting any third party child keys. No dice. I then tried deleting the Windows\System32\spool\drivers\w32x86 directory. No dice. Although my error did change this time, but the next time I tried reinstalling, the 0x000003eb error returned. I then ran an sfc /scannow command to check the file system. It did return errors, and the machine operated faster afterwards, but unable to install this didn't rectify the problem either. I then became a little more desperate and began to prepare for the worst... a system reformat. However, I stumbled across another thread in a different forum where someone suggested that the status of "Windows Installer" be checked in the Services dialog. So, I ventured down to the start menu, and launched "Services.msc" from the search box. I checked the status of the "Windows Installer" service and it was off, set in manual mode. The author of the thread suggested to set it to automatic and start it, so I did. I then when back to the Printers dialog and tried reinstalling the printer. IT WORKED! After trying numerous ideas from various threads, this one idea pulled it off. So before digging deep into the registry like I did, check the status of your Windows Installer service. Enable it and set it to automatic if it's off. Apparently a Windows Update or a virus/spyware infection can cause this, I believe it was a virus on this PC that has since been quarantined. Hope this helps someone. Here is the original thread that shared this solution. It was last on the list.
