Remove VMware Tools, and select Modify, or completely remove and complete a Custom Install of VMware Tools without the ThinPrint component.

You could also check under Windows services for the VMware ThinPrint service disable it then reboot the VM as a quick fix / test

How did the VM admin update the VMware tools in the PVS image? Did he follow some guide like the one pointed out by Jarian Gibson in the below thread?
