Pixma PRO-100 Printer Driver Problem

[jrhoffman75]

After a year of printing with no problems I now get an error and crash when I try and select Matching in the printer driver.

In DPP I get an error that says "print driver host for 32bit application has stopped working" and the screen goes light and the cancel program box comes up.

Similar problem in Lightroom but it says "Lightroom has stopped working"

I deleted and reinstalled the printer driver and tried a fix from internet that involved clearing printer spool (which was empty) but no success.

Windows 7 x64 machine.

Any thoughts?
