I had the same problem which was fixed by a suggestion in OE newsgroup
which I have copied whole:

************************************************
Re: Outlook Express Printing Problem
For the benefit of others here and archiving, the purported fix is:

<QP>
Solution: From a Win2000 machine export these files from the registry
and
import on the machine with the print problem/script error. These work on
both 2000 and WinXP.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000320-0000-0000-C000-
000000000046}] @="PSFactoryBuffer"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{00000320-0000-0000-C000-
000000000046}\InprocServer32] @="C:\\WINNT\\system32\\ole32.dll"
"ThreadingModel"="Both"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{0C733A30-2A1C-11CE-ADE5-
00AA0044773D}] @="ISequentialStream"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{0C733A30-2A1C-11CE-ADE5-
00AA0044773D}\NumMethods] @="5"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{0C733A30-2A1C-11CE-ADE5-
00AA0044773D}\ProxyStubClsid32]
@="{00000320-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{0000000c-0000-0000-C000-
000000000046}] @="IStream"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{0000000c-0000-0000-C000-
000000000046}\NumMethods] @="14"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{0000000c-0000-0000-C000-
000000000046}\ProxyStubClsid32]
@="{00000320-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"
</QP>

In the next reply, a poster wrote:

<QP>
I didn't have another Windows machine to export from, so I added the
missing
keys myself by editing the registry. Everything is working properly now.
</QP>

Now, what in the world "breaks" these keys in the first place?
