It would be helpful to know just a teensy weensy bit more.

What software?

What are you doing or attempting to do when you get the error?

Do you have a printer set up on this computer?

Yes, the error is a Visual Basic runtime printer error. The system or program either thinks your printer is not hooked up, turned on, out of paper, etc or just plain not recognized. Another possibility although slim, is you may not have the necessary version of the Visual Basic runtime dll file. The reason I say slim is that most of the time if this was the case you would geta fifferent error telling you there was a missing or incorrect .dll. Anyway the name of the file is something like msvbrun50.dll or msvbrun60.dll and will be located in /windows/system or /windows/system32. If you have msvbrun50.dll you could try adding in msvbrun60.dll. It can't hurt, even if you don't need it. I've done it many times (added both .dlls).

In my research, I found an instance of a program that uses the printer settings to determine margins etc. If, however, there was no printer attached it would produce said error message...
