Go to the Printers section and find your Samsung printer. Right-click your Samsung printer and click Uninstall it may ask you if you wish uninstall the drivers as well, choose YES. After successfully uninstalling the drivers, you now need to reinstall the drivers.

Select it and click the Red X from the menu bar under Options. Reboot PC and test. Note: Be careful not to delete any other entries. Only delete the eed_ec.dll entry.
