Print Spooler Crashing - or erroring with PrinterIsolation on.

One Windows 7 64bit machine is crashing the spooler when printing.

Faulting application name: spoolsv.exe, version: 6.1.7601.17777, time stamp: 0x4f35fc1d
Faulting module name: RPCRT4.dll, version: 6.1.7601.18205, time stamp: 0x51dba4dc
Exception code: 0xc00000fd
Fault offset: 0x00000000000dcb0d
Faulting process id: 0x3458
Faulting application start time: 0x01cf977718c2ebcb
Faulting application path: C:\windows\System32\spoolsv.exe
Faulting module path: C:\windows\system32\RPCRT4.dll
Report Id: 58b4607f-036a-11e4-a7bc-9cb654ee4b92



When i run the MS Printer MrFixIt, it turns on Printer Isolation, and then we get this error (although the spooler now doesnt crash)

Faulting application name: PrintIsolationHost.exe, version: 6.1.7600.16385, time stamp: 0x4a5bd3b1

Faulting process id: 0x1a64
Faulting application start time: 0x01cf977bc604e98a

We have tried removing all drivers, loading new ones, different types (its for a Xerox 6015N, so we tried their Global Driver, PCL, PS)

Any Ideas?

You might also need to remove .BUD files associated with that printer & driver.

.BUD files are binary printer description files that are associated with specific drivers & they help the OS spool print jobs to the printer.  As I understand it, they shouldn't hang around after print jobs are done, but they often do not go away.  If you update the driver on a PC, then any old .BUD files can cause issues.  I've seen them cause spooler crashes many times.  Deleting them will usually help.

To find & delete those files:
stop the print spooler service (you can use an elevated cmd prompt, run:  net stop spooler)

browse to the System32\spool folder in your windows directory
search for *.BUD
delete all .BUD files you find
restart the spooler service (at an elevated cmd prompt, run:  net start spooler
