Why does "Find Printer" fail (directory service unavailable)?

In any application (Word, Excel, etc), when I press ctrl-p and
click on Find Printer, I get the pop-up error "Directory Service
currently unavailable".

What is wrong? How do I fix it?

FYI, I have no problem getting to the Printers control panel by
clicking Start on the desktop taskbar.

I should have mentioned that I am using XP Pro 2002 SP2 on a
standalone laptop.
