Office 2013 crashes with Canon 8350 printer

Hi  I posted a question about this a bit over a week ago, but i think i accidentally marked the thread as closed when i went to reply to one of the emails. So, I'm posting again in the hopes of getting some help.

Here's the original thread: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_365hp-word/canon-8350-printer-crashes-with-office-2013/5df6aff8-4c17-4481-8f40-31545d0cc2b0

Here's the situation: My Canon 8350 printer prints just fine with all programs except Office 2013. When I print from excel, word, etc., then the program crashes immediately.

This indicates that I've tried all of the standard things that have been recommended: changing printer driver, uninstalling and installing the driver, printing to a PDF and printing from there, creating a new user account, etc...

I am using Win8 on a Lenovo 220x. System works just fine otherwise... Canon lists this printer as being Win8 compatible.

Help?

Thank you,

Scott

Jiri Adamek provided the answer in another thread and I thought I'd share it here for others to see! I followed the instructions and it solved the problem. SO, it seems that the driver was at fault, and I apologize to Doug for my intransigence. I'm happy to have the problem solved!

Try to download drivers for the printer MF9280 which has newer version of build (v20.85). This drivers must be installed manually from the Control Panel. Do not use Canon setup file.

Please follow these steps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ti-lVcG52dU

After it's done, go back to printer Properties, Advanced tab and select right drivers for your printer.

With MF9280 drivers the printer will not work, but in my case old drivers for Canon have begun working. It seems that some component of old drivers was replaced with newer version during setup.

If you can print to the Adobe PDF printer or another PDF Printer such as PrimoPDF, then that definitely points to the issue being with the Canon printer driver.

    Thank you so much for writing... I appreciate the input. This thread has been pretty quiet (as have the others I've started trying to figure this out).

    I eagerly tried disabling the background printing, but alas I get the same problem. Word and other Office 2013 products crash as soon as I try to print. Sigh.

    I'll keep trying. Thanks again for your thoughts, though.

    Okay, I might have some more ideas, but I need some more information.

    1. How are you connected to the printer? (LPT, network, USB, etc)
    2. Which driver do you have installed?  Is there a version number?
    3. Is there an error message either popup, or in the application event manager?
    4. Is this Office 2013 or Office 365?
    5. Do you have any office add-ins installed?

    Okay, I might have some more ideas, but I need some more information.

    EXCELLENT. Thank you. Info below in bold.

    1. How are you connected to the printer? (LPT, network, USB, etc)

    Connected via network, though the name happens when connected directly via USB. Incidentally, the exact same behavior is observed on 3 computers.

    1. Which driver do you have installed?  Is there a version number?

    Latest driver from Canon website.http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/imageclass_series/color_imageclass_mf8350cdn#DriversAndSoftwareIt's V. 20.05

    1. Is there an error message either popup, or in the application event manager?

    No popup, but the event manager gives the following:

    Faulting application name: WINWORD.EXE, version: 15.0.4454.1000, time stamp: 0x509a4ea6Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.2.9200.16420, time stamp: 0x505ab405Exception code: 0xc0000005Fault offset: 0x0000000000001069Faulting process id: 0x3138Faulting application start time: 0x01ce0e3166649c73Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\Root\Office15\WINWORD.EXEFaulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dllReport Id: b8acb64a-7a25-11e2-be7a-406186773f2dFaulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID:

    If it's excel or some other office appl, then that's listed as the application name instead. All indicate the fault with ntdll.dll.Thanks for any input.S

    1. Is this Office 2013 or Office 365?
    2. Do you have any office add-ins installed?
