There was a problem retrieving printer information for this object.

I have a printer that is hookup using LPT1 and is shared. I can print
the report when changing to a network printer. I have deleted,
reinstalled, changed drivers, left that printer installed and added
another local printer with different driver, changed share name and
still can't print to the local printer. Any ideas?

Can you print a test page to the local printer?
Can you print from other Apps to the local printer?

Finally got it to work. Went into the properties of the printer and
the paper source was "unspecified". Set it to letter and the other to
plain.
