I personally forgive you, hope everyone else does too.
This kind of S**T-bags seem to pest Director from time to time. I personally
am running alsmost exactly the same config, so I'm guessing the problem is
not generic.
Another question I have for you, which produced the same error for my, until
Gretchen MacDowall saved my ass, was this:
It seems that Every version of Director after D7 can develop an acute
allergy towards HP-printers (those things from the worlds worst
driver-maker), which are installed as default printers. If you do not have a
default HP printer I still suggest you try to uninstall it and test. If you
have a default HP printer, try to uninstall it, or install any other present
printer as your default printer.
If this does it for you (a long shot) please do me a favour and send some
hatemail to your HP reseller.
