Interesting. I assume you get the error when installing *any* printer. Can
you try the following: from the start menu, select "Run...". Enter "cmd /k
del %windir%\inf\printupg.pnf" (which deletes printupg.pnf which is the
binary version of printupg.inf, which will be automatically regenerated when
needed). I've seen this binary version getting corrupted before.

Please let us know whether that fixes the problem. If not, please provide
further details, what printer, what driver and on what port. Thanks,

  Robert
