Not sure if this is a V64 issue, a windows printing issue, or a Canon issue,
so I'm hitting all three to check for solutions:

Looking for some sort of solution to this problem. First, I'm running Vista
64 ultimate. Windows generates the error whenever I try to start a CD label
printing program for my Canon MP830. The whole message is "Thunking Spooler
APIS from 32 to 64 Process has stopped working." Windows then does the
solution check to no avail. I have attempted to uninstall/reinstall printer
drivers and the software, but that has not resolved the issue. All updates
are current. Anybody else run into this problem and able to resolve it?
 
Re: Printing problem "Thunking Spooler"

I am not familiar with the printer nor the software, but experience tells me
that even if a device arrives with a 64bit driver, companion software does
not allways follow with the same standard - this may not be a problem, but
it could be if it is accessing the hardware. I would contact Canon Support
and have them verify that the Labeler should work on your specific system.

This does not sound as any OS error or message, but when you talk to Canon
make sure you have had a look in your 'Event Viewer', which you can access
from the 'Administrative Tools' section of 'Control Panel'. If you see any
errors or warnings that seem related to your problem ( a time stamp may help
you identify specific errors) then be sure to tell Canon about those.

Re: Printing problem "Thunking Spooler"

Tony is correct. Some manufacturers are not supporting full functionality
under Vista, especially for older devices.

Re: Printing problem "Thunking Spooler"

When checking the event viewer it all seems to point to this error:

Faulting application splwow64.exe, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp
0x4549c865, faulting module KPDui64.dll, version 5.3.0.42, time stamp
0x4666b217, exception code 0xc000000d, fault offset 0x000000000000e805,
process id 0x24c4, application start time 0x01c869c3163bef58.

Does this shed any additional light on the issue? The program allows
printing directly to CD, and it used to be fine.

Re: Printing problem "Thunking Spooler"

KPDui64.dll is not a binary that is shipped in the OS. It's causing the
splwow64.exe application to terminate.

Does the Canon MP830 driver need this file?

I normally associate KPD with Kyocera devices

Re: Printing problem "Thunking Spooler"

If it used to work on this same system, then you should think hard if (or
what?) you may have changed lately. You could try a system restore to a date
when you believe it worked, or you could try and uninstall this software -
remove the driver if this part of the software is part of the driver. You
may even uninstall the printer and all driver/software that belongs to it -
unplug the device and reboot and re-install everything again from scratch.
Obviously, this is an ordeal and before doing that, I'd suggest that you
take some time and consider what you have been doing that may have triggered
this - you don't want it to catch you unawares again.

The error message doesn't tell me anything much, but make a copy of it and
store it somewhere safe - you may need to ship it off to Canon some day.
There are some clear indications, but you would need to be familiar with the
internals of that device and the parts of the OS that it accesses to
actually start making guesses.

If you are having more or less specific suspicions towards things that might
have triggered the failure, try and disable any of those before
re-installing, but don't forget to re-boot!

Re: Printing problem "Thunking Spooler"

According to the Canon web site there are no 64-bit drivers
for this, so where did you came up with a driver?

OS Compatibility:
Windows XP/2000/Me/98 and Mac OS X version 10.2.4 to 10.4.x

If you don't have Vista x64 specific drivers you can't
expect this to work.

Re: Printing problem "Thunking Spooler"

I must retract my statement below. For some reason the tab
for selecting drivers was not showing before. When I went
back and flipped through a few pages and I ended up at the
driver page the button for selecting the OS popped up.

There are Vista x64 drivers, but there is no KPDui64.dll in
the driver file. The file must have a different origin.
