Disabled as per info I found online via google.

It used to print before but now2 it does not because of DEP.

I can print on my HP pronter.

system restore back to when it still worked?

By the way "info I found online via google" isn't more informative than "per online".

That's the way to do it, indeed.

- What "application" did you select? I mean, a driver isn't really an application, so it could easily have been the wrong one.
- What happens if you choose the other option "Enable DEP only for essential Windows programs and services"? It could be Windows doesn't consider a printer driver as an essential program or service so the printer driver won't be affected.

The problem with that

The problem with that, is that DEP is a useful virus countermeasure that you've now gone and disabled. If DEP is being triggered, and updating your drivers didn't help, I'd start to suspect there's something else going on. Quite possibly some kind of rootkit, but more banal malware isn't out of the question either.
