Many time i have tried re-installing my printer drive online but still when I tried to print it shows this error.
C:WINDOWS\splwow64.exe Function address 0x00007FFC98A44F69 caused a protection fault. (exception code
0x00000505). Some or all property page(s) may not be displayed. Then i cannot print anything from my laptop but i can print through my iphone10. I have to email my printing jobs to me, download on my phone and print. Please help i need to print from my Dell laptop.

Welcome to the HP support community.
I understand that you are getting error while installing printer driver, I am glad to assist you.
Did you uninstall the printer driver from root level before installing the new driver?
If not, follow these steps:-
Perform root level uninstallation to remove all the printer related software's.
- In Windows, search for and open Programs and Features.
- Select your HP printer.
- Select Uninstall.
- In Windows, search for and open Devices and Printers.
- In the Devices and Printers window look for your HP Printer. If you see it listed, right-click on it and choose "Delete" or "Remove Device.”
- Open up the run command with the "Windows Key + R" key combo.
- Type printui.exe /s and click OK.
- Click on Drivers tab.
- Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it click on it and click Remove at the bottom.
- Select OK.
- Remove all instances of the same.
- Select Apply and OK on the Print Server Properties windows.
