When configuring a new printer port in the LPR client, you may see a General Protection Fault error in Spool32.exe. This indicates a conflict with some other software running on the PC.

To locate the process, type Ctrl-Alt-Delete to get the Task Manager. Close one process at a time, except for Explorer and Systray. Test LPR after closing each. You can determine from that which process causes the error.
