Many thanks to all who replied with suggestions. I checked printer settings, and both the windows default printer and the Protel printer were set the same (local Epson Stylus Photo 1290 on USB). I did try uninstalling the Stylus Photo that was the old default, but that made no difference.
Updating the MDAC drivers also had no effect, and there aren't too many files in the Windows\Temp directory - although there are now fewer than there were! Moving .rcs files didn't cure it either. In the end it was fixed by a full remove/reinstall. One interesting 'feature' of this procedure was that when I came to re-apply SP6, the installer decided that the valid installation was in the recycle bin (which I hadn't emptied since the removal...)! It was however easily persuaded otherwise and normal operation has been restored.
