Canon BJC5100 Spool32 Invalid Page Fault

The printer is new and won't spool, and after the error message the computer seems to delete the printer from the printers folder. I can print direct to the printer. The same problem is also now affecting Bitware Fax software to COM3. Seems to be a config problem. I'm using Win95. I've set port to ECP mode, but unsure whether this should be set to 1 or 3.

First a question  Which lenguage version are you using?

There is a known bug with win 95 system spooler that afects versions with lenguages different to english.  MS accepted this but won't provide a fix an tell you this is fixed on win 98.

A solution:

If you have acces to a win 98 machine copy the files used by the spooler, normally they start with spoo...
Reboot your computer and replace the files from Win 95 with those from Win 98 this should do the trick.

BTW this worked for me.
UPDATE

This are the files I change using peer to peer printers, so not all will be needed on your system
lpt.vxd
lptenum.vxd
Spoool32.exe
spooler.vxd
spoolss.dll
spoolss.exe
spoolssn.dll
