Windows Explorer crashes when trying to print

Did a clean install of Windows 7 on my laptop. After installing the network printer (HP F4235), I went to print the test page and Explorer crashed with the following report:

Then, trying to print MS Word 2007, got this error:

"Print driver host for 32bit applications has stopped working" with the following report:

ALSO, PDF printers are crashing. Adobe PDF printer crashes explorer, and CutePDF and Bullzip PDF printer won't even install, returning an Error 0x00000002.

The machine is fully up to date, the printer's driver's on the host machine are up to date (Host machine is running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 as well), and the printer works fine for all other machines on the network. I can access all shared files and folders on the network with no problem, as I'd always been able to do, but simply cannot get any printer to work aside from the Microsoft XPS printer.

Have uninstalled and re-installed the printer and drivers on the host machine. Again, all other machines on the network are able to print just fine. All other machines are also running Windows 7 Ultimate x64.

Google has not been my friend with respect to this.

Even tried a SECOND clean install of Windows 7, but the problem persists. And only on this machine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Sorry, I should have mentioned that I tried that. Nothing came back. Have run it a couple of times and nothing. Problem is still there. Thanks for the response, though.

Problem is still there. Installed the printer and attempted to print the test page, got the same error message as above.

Yes, unchecked all but those two, restarted, reinstalled the printer, same result.

I'm running Norton Internet Security 2011 v18.6.0.29. All the other machines on the network are running the same.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I'm usually not stumped this long on anything. I'd figured the second clean install of Windows would have knocked the problem out, but it was still there. Since all the machines on the network are running the same version of Windows and all are up to date as this laptop is, I'd have to rule out a Microsoft update as well.

I have no idea what the deal is.
