A clean boot starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. To perform a clean boot, search for 'msconfig' in the Start menu and open System Configuration. On the 'Services' tab, check 'Hide all Microsoft services' and then click 'Disable all'. On the 'Startup' tab, click 'Open Task Manager' and disable all startup items. Restart your computer and test printing. If the error is resolved, re-enable services and startup items one by one to identify the culprit.
