My Kodak 5500 All in One causes Windows Explorer to crash whenever I try to print. The driver installs through Windows Update. This has been going on through all the builds. I thought it might correct itself with the later builds but it hasn't. Anyone got any ideas on what I could do?
Also use the send feedback regarding your case. You may try to visit Kodak's site and download the installation package. Ruixituh - If the drivers were instaled via WU I doubt that he would be able to run them as Admin manually.
True. But he could try to manually download them... The drivers from WU are most likely Windows Vista's since printers manufacturers aren't releasing Windows 7 compatible drivers yet.
Well the printer spooler service is nearly 100% the same and my all in one printer worked out of the box, so I could assume - the drivers were somehow poorly written - some hardware problems - MS overlooked the issue with Kodak drivers We'll see how will it be in the RTM version, however it would be good to a) report it via send feedback / crash reporting tool b) try the drivers from Kodak's site.
I tried to install the driver package from Kodac and it still crashed Windows Explorer. I guess I'll wait for updated drivers and do my printing in Vista or XP.
Did you tryed to turn of UAC and run it as Admin ? It concernes the drivers installation AND in case you use external program to access your all-in-one functions - this software too ?
