HP PSC 1200 Series "system error" solution


Recommended Posts

Ok, long story short

The PSC 1215 is a printer/scanner

Printer/scanner worked under linux, printer refused to work under windows, scanner worked under windows

The only error was a generic "system error" informing me that I should try rebooting

I was baffled

I assumed linux had caused the demise of my printer (as has been the case a while back)

But I was wrong!

I had enabled DEP (Data Execution Prevention) a while back and apparently it needs to be configured for the printer too!

Well I have disabled it and now my printer is working! Rejoice :)

Disable DEP for this file:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\hpzeng07.exe

Additionally it may be worth disabling DEP for any other files HP files in memory if this doesn't work

For my printer this is:

hpoevm08.exe

hpohmr08.exe

hpotdd01.exe

HPZipm12.exe

Here is where I found the info (bottom post) http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-2...ox-scanner.html
