Unable to print in Outlook 2003

Issue:

Unable to print from outlook 2003. When selected to print, a script error will pop up saying the following.

Error Invalid argument
URL res://C:\\WINNT\system32\shdoclc.dll/preview.dlg


Solution:

The following solution worked for me.
1) Close Outlook 2003 if it is running
2) From the “Start” Menu, select “Run”
3) Type: regsvr32 ole32.dll
4) After the registration becomes successful, Open outlook 2003, open the mail and try printing
