JSI Tip 0667 - New printer or printer port causes access violation in Explorer.exe or Spoolss.exe?

If you receive the subject error during or after installation of a new printer or printer port, you may have a Windows NT 3.51 port monitor installed.

To check, navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors

and remove any Windows NT 3.51 port monitor.
