When I try to print from Word I get the error code 0x0000bbb - operation could not be completed.  I've uninstalled and reinstalled and the problem persists so that although I'm told installation is completed, when it attempts to print a test page, the error message comes up saying:
 
'operation could not be completed (error 0x00000bbb). Unable to create a print job. I am able to print an internal print page.

 

Please help.

Hi@juned3744,

 

Thanks for stopping by HP Support Forums.

 

I came across your post and would like to help.

 

Error on the printer while trying to print. Is that, correct?

 

I was able to find a suitable article which should ideally help you fix the error you have on the printer/PC.

SOLVED!  Here is what worked for me - my issue started after a WINDOWS 10 update, and no amount of MS support, reinstalling drivers, deleting / adding printers made one bit of difference.  Including a full WINDOWS 10 reset - Don't bother!  Try this easy fix:

 

Windows START

 

cmd.exe - right click to execute as Administrator before hitting ENTER

type

cd\Windows\System32\spool

enter

type

cacls.exe PRINTERS /E /G administrator:C

 ENTER

Reboot

 

Should work.  If issues persist, you may want to also execute the above, substitute your user name for "administrator" in this line:

 

cacls.exe....

 

WE CAN PRINT AGAIN!!!!!
