SYMPTOMS
When you start the Add Printer Wizard, you may receive the following error message:

Out of resources.

Printer operation cannot continue due to lack of resources. The specified module could not be found.



CAUSE
The Ntprint.dll file in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder may be missing or damaged.



RESOLUTION
Expand a new copy of the Ntprint.dll file from the Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM to the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder using the following steps:  If an Ntprint.dll file already exists in the %SystemRoot%\System32 folder, rename it to Ntprint.old. Place the Windows NT 4.0 CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive. Type the following line at a command prompt:

expand d:\i386\ntprint.dl_ c:\winnt\system32\ntprint.dll

NOTE: This article assumes that Windows NT is installed in the Winnt folder on drive C and that the CD-ROM drive is drive D. If this is not the case, adjust the command as necessary.
