Error message generated when trying to print from IE or OE. Print command
works when printing from Word, etc.
PC running XP, HP printer, not sure which model #.

Thanks, Bill W

Need more info. What type of file are you trying to print by extension?
Have you tried saving the problem file to a location on your hard drive and
then tried to print from there?

Have you asked the question in a newsgroup or support forum for HP printers?
If not, why not?

You also state an error message is generated. What is the complete and
exact text of the error message? Have you looked in the Event Log for
further information about the error? (Right click My Computer, select
Manage and look at the Event Viewer.)

Why is the error message a secret?

The fix for this problem is often to go to Start | Run and type
regsr32 ole32.dll
and press Enter.

Why this is the fix is a mystery. I suspect that it is caused by some piece
of spyware or adware or maybe the removal of same, just like the removal of
some spyware breaks the Winsock stack and people have to use LSPFix
(http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm) to fix it. (For the latter WinXP SP2 users
only have to run
netsh winsock reset
from a Cmd window.

The ole32 re-registration won' t work in this instance, as he says IE and OE
problems. That's only when its an OE problem exclusively.
