This is itching at me, too.

I'm wondering if ShellExecute needs a full path to find it under W98.
Try this; add to the top of your code:
import os.path
and change your ShellExecute to this:
win32api.ShellExecute (
0,
"print",
os.path.abspath(filename),
None,
".",
0
)
I have no idea if this will work; and the error message you're getting,
> The code above gives me the error: (31, 'ShellExecute', 'A device attached
> to the system is not functioning.')
doesn't seem to indicate it, but it's one less thing.
I'd love to know the answer when you get it.
