Hi Rd331,

 

For Win10 64bit, C:\Windows\System 32\spool\drivers\x64\3

For Win10 32bit, C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\W32X86\3

1. Go to C:\Windows\System 32\spool\drivers\x64\3 and check PrintConfig.dll whether exist or not.

2. If you can’t find it, you have to copy the PrintConfig.dll from a different PC (Has to be same Windows version).

I had uploaded the PrintConfig.dll for 32bit and 64bit. Both files are from Windows 10 1809 (OS Build 17763.379)

3. Restart computer

I have the dll already installed. I re installed all the drivers for my printer. I still get the same message. I do not know what else to do.

Hi Rd331,

 

Go to C:\Windows\System 32\spool\drivers\x64\3 and rename PrintConfig.dll then copy mine PrintConfig.dll to the folder 3.

I have renamed the PrintConfig.dll in my folder, but I can't find your PrintConfig.dll file how do I get to it?
