Drag and Drop to Printer Broken



If I drag and drop a file to a printer or to a printer shortcut in XP Pro it
normally prints immediately. However I noticed that now the ?Move Items'
window and then the 'Copy Items? windows appear. Only after I cancel both
of these does the printing get started.

Other points:
1. It behaves the same for all users on the computer.
2. Drag and drop to folders works normally.
3. A Google search suggested that
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\DropHandler might be involved but this
key does not exist on this machine.

Can anyone help on this?
