From the command prompt, type

sfc /scannow

note the space between the c and the /

sfc = system file checker. You will need your Windows CD for this.... it
will check system files and if any are corrupt, replace them. Reboot after
it's finished and try once more.

So far I have not found a fix for the printer wizard other
than reloading. I did notice once that office 2000 broke
the wizard. The fixes that they have been saying like sfc
and removing dlls do not work at all. I have had this
happen to 9 computers now and have had to reload each of
them. When you load a new program make sure you create a
restore point and check your wizard with each new program.
If it breaks try a restore.
