Printer communication system has stopped working?
Just bought a new computer (Alienware M17 with 64 bit windows vista
ultimate) and installed the drivers for my Dell 924 all in one via a
Dell 3300 wireless printer adapter. The printer is working fine with
my new computer - however after I installed the printer the following
message pops up about every 15 minutes:
Printer communication system has stopped working and was closed. A
problem caused the application to stop working correctly. Windows
will notify you if a solution is available.
Sometimes an additional prompt appears to submit the problem to
Microsoft – however Windows has yet to find a solution to the
problem. The only printers I have installed on my system are my “Dell
Photo AIO Printer 924” and the default “Microsoft XPS Document
Writer.” I’ve never seen this issue with any of the other computers
that use this printer running 32 bit versions of vista.
This is getting really annoying – does anyone know how to stop this
message from popping up all the time? Thanks in advance,
Shane
Re: Printer communication system has stopped working?
What application is failing?. I'm assuming this is something from Dell.
Look for Dell services and see if stopping one of them fixes this.
Windows can only find a solution if the vendor fixes the software and
updates Microsoft.

I have the same problem and that includes no one taking responsibility. I
keep getting sent back and forth. So frustrating!
Re: Printer communication system has stopped working?
I have had my Dell for more than a year. I have been using the same printer the entire time. Just after Thanksgiving my printer started giving me the message of "Printer communication system has stopped working" or "communication not available". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the updated drivers from the website. Still no help. I grabbed my old computer (operating on XP) and printed anything I want without problem. So this leads me to believe that one of the updates that were automatically installed messed up my communications to my printer. I really need to be able to print. I really would like some help. Thanks.
