Windows 10: Unable to print after a windows 10 upgrade - 0x00000bbb Unable to create a print job

Hi! I recently upgraded to Windows 10 from Windows 7 a few days ago. I have a Canon MF8200C Series printer configured for use by this home pc. The printer is connected via ip (local lan). The printer worked fine on Windows 7 for years. After upgrading the pc to Windows 10, I've been unable to print. I receive a "operation could not be completed error (0x00000bbb). Unable to create a print job" message when attempting to print a test page via the "Printers & Scanners" UI.

In C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS, I see a file called FP00000.spl appear after attempting to print a test page. The file is 0 bytes, with the file owner as SYSTEM.

So far, I've attempted to:
1) stop the spool service and remove the file from C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS, then restart the spool service and try again. then restart the pc.
2) removed the printer and attempted to rediscover (successful) and reinstall the printer (successful). then attempt to print a test page.
3) adjusted the permissions to C:\Windows\System32\spool\PRINTERS for all users to "Full Control", then restart the pc and tried again.
4) remove the printer, install the latest drivers from Canon's website (MF8200CMFDriversV2085W64usEN, if necessary to know) for the MF8200C Series printer, then restart the pc and tried again.

5) contacted Microsoft Advisors (via the live chat) for help earlier today, who suggested copying PrintConfig.dll (it was 2.74MB) from C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\W32X86\3 to C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3 and restart the pc and tried again.

6) went into Print Management (printmanagement.msc) and found ghost printers (Printers that do not appear in the Windows 10 "Printers & Scanners" UI, but are registered in the OS nonetheless). I removed all ghost printers, all their drivers, and all the ports in use by the ghost printers. I then tried a fresh install of the printer drivers from Canon, and attempted to print a test page.



all of these attempts result in the same condition: Windows reporting "Operation could not be completed error 0x00000bbb. Unable to create a print job" when attempting to print a test page.

I'm convinced the problem is _not_ with the printer. There's another pc in my home running Windows 10 that is able to print to this printer without any issue, and I've successfully printed to this printer on this pc pre-upgrade to Windows 10. At this point i'm stuck and could use additional help. Any thoughts are appreciated!

Unable to Create a print Job

Hi Nyima,

I have the same problem as Baldron.

Windows 10 got updated to Version 1607 (OS Buil 14393.321) at the End of September (just before I went on Vacation) an today, when I started my computer (first time after vacation) and tried to print an E-Mail, I get this Error: "error 0x00000bbb unable
to create a print job".

It doesn't matter what printers (I have several "printers" like Adobe PDF, Fineprint, Brother, HP, ...) I choose, I get always the same error.

The Printer themselves work fine, as I can print from other PCs to those.

When I open the Printer&Device Settings Page, I only have 1 Printer left !! But even that one fails to print a Test Page.

But when I try to print from any Application and I'm in the Printer dialogue, I get the full List of Printers. The same applies when I'm in the Troubleshooter. I can troubleshoot any of my "old" (as in those that I had before the 1607 Win10 Update) Printers
and the troubleshooter comes back with no errors.

BUT I STILL CANNOT PRINT ANYMORE.

Thanks to get me a solution to that Problem (that was not a Problem before Win10 Update 1607.

Unable to Create a print Job

Thank you, but this also didn't work. I think the issue is with the pointers to the 32 bit print service. I just installed a new printer Canon Image class MF 8280C And it now has the same issues. Unable to create print job. I checked under services. And
the print spooler is running. Is there a different print spooler for 64 bit Machines?
