I tried every "fix" to this problem I could find (I was one who had to uninstall BitWare, edit BitWare from the registry and everything). I tried clearing out the Windows/System32/spool/printer directory, replacing spoolsv.exe, and all that. No help. What finally worked was the answer I found at http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Win2000/Q_20327599.html which says, in part, "SIMPLY DELETE THE FOLLOWING REGISTRY KEY!: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers\Version-2]" This is what worked for me.
