@kdfrawg No changes in our software since January. (We did remove and re-install the client software to rule out some sort of corruption on our end) All other workstations are fine. Have ruled out anti-virus and updates. Windows simply kills the executable the moment we try to open a print spool.

That system was put into service the moment XP 64 bit was available so the system is ancient and needs replaced. I'd sure love to know what part of the OS has decided to toss cookies though.

*If it were the Query, an exception would have been thrown and caught. The OS simply pulls the rug out from under it. Boom. Desktop.
