Something doesn't add up here
Microsoft release updates once a month, on the (West Coast USA) evening of the second tuesday of each month
So, your updates should have come through last week, and the previous ones would have been FIVE weeks ago. The next update from last week is in around three weeks.

Besides which, Microsoft have pretty much given up on new patches for XP - theres just essential security fixes being released. Nothing that should affect a printer redirection issue

I'm guessing, but, your problem seems more likely to be elsewhere - from what you say it looks like your dBase program is trying to access your printer directly using DOS emulation routines. Thats simply not supposed to to work in XP anyway

What were the various patches you installed that broke / fixed it?
