I have Canon MX 860 print server that connects with my computer over the network. I am running Windows 7 RC 64 with bootcamp on my macbookpro. Now the problem is of new generation. I am not able to install printer at all. it always says "local print spooler is not running etc. " when i look at print spooler it say "running" startmode "automatic". I had downloaded the Windows 7 print drivers for my Canon MX 860. It just won't install in Boot Camp. After i restart spooler and try to install a printer there comes the message:Windows can't open Add Printer. Operation could not be completed (error 0x000006be). Can any one tell me that why i'm having Windows 7 RC 64 print spooler problem under bootcamp? Does any body knows about it? Kindly help me out to resolve the above issue. Thanks.

Did you install the 64-bit version of the driver? I would check hardware. If its a new PC and your sure its not infected w/ malware. Run memtest over night and see what comes out of it. Was the driver signed by Canon or some vendor? Is the driver designed for Vista, 7, or XP 64-bit?

A quick simople fix to get your printers back applies to Windows 7 running natively on a MacBook Pro that has VMWare Fusion installed. Windows Vista/7 64-bit require signed drivers. If the drivers were not signed, then you should have received a red warning about unsigned drivers. Upon rebooting, Windows will automatically disable the unsigned drivers. You need to press F8 every time at boot-up and select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" to run unsigned drivers. Remove the following registry entry, reboot, and you're done.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors\ThinPrint Print Port Monitor for VMWare]

In fact the whole printing subsystem is broken in Boot Camp. Print Driver Isolation feature in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 allows some of the print driver components to be executed in a process (or processes) separate from the print spooler. Even thought the Print Spooler service says it's working, I get a message that it is not running when I try to add a printer, any printer, and the XPS printer is missing in action.

This may be a Boot Camp problem. This issue occurs because the Hewlett-Packard (HP) print driver uses an HPBmini.dll file ("HP Mini Installer") whose version is earlier than 1.0.0.13.
