MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like MpSigStub.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. HP P2035 Laser Printer Driver) could share the same MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll is attempted to be loaded either when HP P2035 Laser Printer Driver is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll.
- MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\inetpub\HPManagedPrintAdmin\Components\MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll.
- Cannot register MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll.
- Cannot start HP P2035 Laser Printer Driver. A required component is missing: MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll. Please install HP P2035 Laser Printer Driver again.
- Failed to load MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll.
- The application has failed to start because MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll was not found.
- The file MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with HP P2035 Laser Printer Driver), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading HP P2035 Laser Printer Driver, system crash while loading MPAPrinterDiscovery.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
