Runtime Error

[Biscuit_bandit]

Hi

I've installed the software for this printer, which has worked fine for a few months, but now is giving me the following error.

Runtime Error!

Program: C:\Program Files (X86)\HP\Digital Imaging\bin\hpqSTE08.exe

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.

Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Can anyone suggest what is wrong and how I can correct this error

Thanks

Hi @Biscuit_bandit

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the "Runtime" error.

Download and install HP Print and Scan Doctor, it is a Windows tool to fix printer issues. 

If the issue still persists, try re-installing the printer driver -

1. In the search box, type and open "Uninstall a Program".

2. Look for HP Printer software.

3. Right-click to uninstall.

4. In the search box, type and open “Devices and printers”.

5. In the Devices and Printers, look for your HP printer. If you see it listed right-click on it and choose “Delete” or “Remove Device”.

6. Open the run command with the "Windows key + R" key combo. 

7. Type printui.exe /s and click Ok. (Note: there is a space in between “printui.exe” and “/s”).

8. Click on the "Drivers" tab.

9. Look for HP Printer driver. If you see it Click on it and click “Remove” at the bottom.

10. Select Ok.

11. Select Apply and Ok on the Print Server Properties windows.

12. Close Devices and Printers Once the software and drivers are removed.

13. Restart the computer.

14. Download and install the software and drivers from here for Windows 10 (64-bit).

15. Click on the downloaded file and follow the on-screen instructions.
