Microsoft is a hub of office associated apps that are utilized to make docs, databases, presentations, spreadsheets, and many more. While the Office apps work seamlessly, users may, at times, run into problems. When users try to print from MS Office, the ‘Function address caused a protection fault’ error may appear on the screen. If you are facing the same error, then here are some solutions mentioned below.
Updating the Printer Driver
You can update the printer driver by pursuing the directions mentioned below:
First of all, you have to visit the DriverFix page on your system.
This utility is free for download; just download it.
Then install the program by following the setup wizard.
You should open the DriveFix; then, it will begin the scanning process automatically.
Now, you may see a faulty or outdated driver list that requires replacement.
Install the updates, if needed.
