Have you tried uninstalling and re-installing the printer.. maybe using a
later driver from the printer manufacturer website?

I also cannot print after installing the SP2 for Vista Home Premium - cannot
print from Microsoft office except through Send to OneNote or Adobe's PDF
files.

Printer drivers have been updated Brother MFC420CN - no issues with them -
LEXMARK printer has no issues but was not installed prior to the update.

Regards,
Kimberly

Rather than just update, uninstall and reinstall the printer.
