Re: IE7 printing problem after kb969897

This just in!...

Ask the IE Support Team Blog: Printing functionality fails in Internet
Explorer 7 and 8 on Windows XP
http://blogs.msdn.com/askie/archive/...indows-xp.aspx

<QP>
In troubleshooting this behavior, we have found that uninstalling the
Microsoft Software Inventory Analyzer software, via Add or Remove Programs
option in Control panel, resolves these printing functionality issues. This
is our recommendation.

Deeper troubleshooting of this issue indicates a registry key added by the
Microsoft Software Inventory Analyzer, may be the root cause of the
failure...

Removing the DLG association worked for me.
