That looks identical to the same file on my computer, but I did not check the entire guid line.
There is a very old bug report about not being able to print in Windows which has never been resolved because it cannot be repeated. I don't remember the bug number. Someone found a work-around that seems to make the problem go away until a re-install of something, either Windows or GnuCash. That work-around may work for you.
