"The application have been unable to open the file due to an existing lock on
the file by another application."

Which application?  Calc was the only program not able to open the file, and
calc hung hard.  If the file was simply locked, the expectation would be for
calc to report that "this file is in use by another application."

At best, this is an issue with how Calc handles file locking.

At worst, this is an issue with how Calc interacts with the print stack on
Windows.

Saying that it's not a bug because removing the printer fixed the issue is
folly.  The resultant implications are that:

* Temporary printer outages mean that Calc may at any moment be unusable. I
guess printers never go down?

* Users who travel between multiple locations (home/office, etc) and have
printers in each location will have to remove and reinstall printers before
leaving the previous location so that calc will work.

Does this sound like it makes any sense to you?
