Thanks for reporting this, which is unrelated to the initial reported problem. 

KMyMoney depends on some background processes which provide io services, which
are started automatically along with kmymoney, but will stay in memory after
kmymoney shutdown. To avoid that, an additional background app is automatically
started by default, watching kmymoney shutdown and if detected, after a few
seconds shut down all running background processes and itself. The command box
you are seeing indicates that. 

If someone is interested to see, how this is implemented, take a look at
https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/windows:mingw:win32/mingw32-umbrello/kwinshutdown.desktop?expand=1

To get some more informations about this issue you may start Dbgview
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/debugview in front of
KMymoney. If this does report any useful informations,
please run kdebugdialog fron the bin sub folder of the kmymoney installation
folder and enable all categories. Then start kmymoney from a command prompt, on
which internal messages should be displayed. Pleas try to print as pdf and the
problematic printer and see if some useful informations are available.

kdebugdialog --fullmode can also be used to specify different output device for
debug messages.
