3) Type Control Printers and hit enter to bring the printers and faxes window

  1. I did this but I still get the exception message at shut down. The one thing I have noticed is that the location identification number changes. The first two I got I was able to find info on a google search, the rest of the numbers do not produce any search results.

  2. I found your information quite helpful. Thanks. However, the exception still pops up when shutting down my laptop. Can't HP figure out the problem and submit a fix? Seems silly to "always have a work around" for such a new printer and Vista OS.

  3. I bought my HP Computer in Feb 2009. The error message location is 0x754e7eb2. It started not too long after buying the computer.

    Since then I have had my hard drive replaced. The hpqpc01.exe application error message still remains.

    This tells me either HP hard drives are crap, or it's coming from somewhere else. Vista?

    Last night I received this cryptic message

    "Authentication Failure. You are not permitted to do that" and it shuts down my computer. What exactly is "that" which I am not supposed to do, is a mystery.

    The hpqgpc01.exe shut down my computer this morning, started up and came up saying "crash dump"

    Thankfully, it's under warranty.

  4. Best bet is to avoid HP Printers. Same problem on a C6180 and on a new fancy HP8500 along with other deficiencies as well..

  8. Had a similar problem. Realized that I had accidently unplugged the HP printer in the "safely remove hardware" dialogue box when uplugging another device. Shut down the printer, reconnected the device in the USB port, turned the printer on and then tested computer shutdown....voila.....no error message. Check that the device hasn't been disabled in safely remove hardware. Worth a try!
