OS X Mavericks :: Apps Crash When Printing To Turned-off Printer

Running 10.9.3 at the moment and having unusual printer issues at the office.  Basically, when going to the print dialogue box and clicking "print" to any printer that is turned off or that OSX doesn't recognize, it will crash the app.  The unusual thing is that even after turning the printer back on, any app that tries to print won't even make it to the print dialogue box and crashes immediately on clicking File>Print or Command-P.  Clicking on Printers in System Prefs crashes System Prefs.  Most of the time even a restart won't solve the issue.   It does seem to resolve itself the next day after I go home and come back to the office.
