    Unable to install printer. The print processor does not exist. Fixed

    Fix that worked for me. Copied from some site on the net....

    Windows error when installing driver. "Unable to install printer. The print processor does not exist"

    I copy the print processor files from another working machine with the same architecture as the one with the problem (x86 or x64).

    Step 1: Stop the Print Spooler service.
    Step 2: Copy all files and folder on working system under C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64.
    Step 3: Make a backup on the problem system of the files listed under the C:\Windows\System32\spool\prtprocs\x64.
    Step 4: Paste the files that you copy from the working system into the folder un the problem system.
    Step 5: Start the Print Spooler service.

    Try connecting or installing your net printer and it should work now.
