    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;yes we have had this issue. I don't know exactly why this happens but it has to do with a 32bit application IE MS OFFICE, Adobe on 64bit machine. we had this issue when they try to load up a print driver (a canon one). Make sure that both print drivers are installed, 32bit and 64 bit. i believe splwow64 is something that is for the 32bit application to print on a 64bit computer. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;one thing i know that works for us is we have to uninstall the printer from device and printers and reinstall them.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;We randomly get calls from our users about them unable to print (to a local printer, networked printer, or Adobe PDF) (from Adobe Acrobat, IE9, Word, WordPerfect) when they are working from their Zero Client connected to a View desktop.&amp;nbsp; Problem is usually resolved by ending the Splwow64.exe process. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;We found a Microsoft hotfix (&lt;A class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2815716"&gt;http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/2815716&lt;/A&gt;) that we are currently testing with in a test pool to see if that helps. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Has anyone else seen this before in a physical or virtual environment? &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;View Info: &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Windows 7 x64&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;ESXi 5.5 &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;View 5.3 &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;when you try and print something does the application just hang? just wondering if it the same problem we have.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Yes, the application either hangs, or nothing happens when you click print, sometimes nothing is even sent to the printer queue.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;If the user logs off and logs back into a clean machine it fixes the problem, but no one wants to do that.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Killing the splwow64.exe process does the trick as well.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Someone already mentioned to me that they did not get any resolution with that KB article I listed, and they just ended up placing a VBS script on everyone's desktop to kill the process.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
