Your example works fine for me, as long as I open a document between the
call to Dispatch and the call to fetch the dialog. The print dialog
doesn't work unless a document is open.
>>>import win32com.client
>>>x = win32com.client.Dispatch("Word.Application")
>>>p = x.Dialogs(88)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<input>", line 1, in ?

line 165, in __call__

(At this point, I manually went over to the window and opened a file,
because I didn't want to go look up the DOM command to do it...)

That certainly is the name of my default printer.
