Can't print with Windows 10

Hello,

I wanted to report that I found the printing problem explained here (inability to print pdfs or to physical printer), to be related with a series of event id 10016 errors in my event log.

I fixed this 10016 errors following instructions in this post

Solved - Numerous event id 10016 errors win 8 pro 64 bit

After I cleared the error 10016 from happening, I was able to print once more.

I hope this helps all.

Windows 10 Event ID 10010 and 10016 Errors With DistributedCOM

See Post #2. This solved the problem for me.

 

Glad it did for you Qwinn, but it does NOT for me - continue with these darned errors as do many others in searching for a solution. I wish someone (preferably MS) would fix this - getting tired of messing with it.

 

Microsoft cannot fix something that is installation related. I would do a clean install of Windows 10 or do further searching to see if it is common for that motherboard or computer to keep puking up that error.

These DistributedCOM errors, with ID 10016, are very common and I get a couple myself, AppID “{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}” included. If it’s not affecting anything is it really necessary to fix? If your answer is ‘yes’, read on.

As it’s a common issue, you can find many solutions to this problem online. Most methods are manual however. Due to the popularity of the problem, I’ve attached my own solution to this post in the form of script. Before running it you must find the AppID, it’s GUID, that’s causing you trouble, and substitute it appropriately in the script. E.g.,
Code: $appids = @( '{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47c8-AFC4-AB702511C276}', '{F72671A9-012C-4725-9D2F-2A4D32D65169}' )[/quote]
If you’re into the command line, you can skim through DistributedCOM errors quickly with the objects returned by the following command. Also good to run if you’re curious if you suffer from this problem as well. Look for “10016” in the Id column.
Code: Get-WinEvent -ProviderName *DistributedCOM -MaxEvents 5[/quote] Registry changes are backed up.
