Cannot change Printing Preferences
(protection fault exception code 0xe06d7363)
ERROR MESSAGE...
HP ENVY 5540 series (Network) Printing Preferences
Function address ......... caused a protection fault (exception code 0xe06d7363)
The Application Property sheet page(s) may not function properly.
This happens whenever & wherever I try to change the Printer Preferences - Here is a quick history of attempts...
Firstly, I was using the Image Editor IrfanView.
When I accessed its Print Dialogue (print setup/. properties) option, the above error message was displayed.
Next, I tried the MS basic word processor Wordpad via its Printing Preferences option. Again I got the same error message.
Next, the Windows 10 Setting App - Printers- Manage Your Device - then Printing Preferences
results in the error message being displayed.
So I then tried accessing the Pinter via the "HP Printer Assistant" itself where selecting Set Preferences produces the error message.
I have restarted the PC and also performed Windows 10 command line DISM/SFC checks which were OK.
The HP virtual agent did not help.
I am up-to-date on the printer Software/Firmware
HP Print and Scan Doctor - Finding and Fixing problems - Reports that...
"Everything checks out ok with your product" and,
The Test Page prints out OK.
I would like to print text and photos at high quality.
(Q) Is it advisable to re-install everything (and be able to continue with my instant ink subscription)?
If so, how can I do this complete re-install - I cannot find that option within the HP print & scan doctor.
Thank you

Hello,
I'd suggest you to install HP Smart APP. Use the below URL to do so.

Thank You for your reply.
When I was writing my post above, I forgot to mention that I already have the HP Smart App.
I did find the HP Smart App to be useful, in that it made me aware of the HP Print & Scan Doctor download.
So it's definitely worth mentioning the HP Smart App because not everyone will have it.
