Sorry, but that is a !Printers bug. It only happens when you have not
clicked on a printer icon or printed something since loading !Printers
(which implies that UniPrint is your default printer).
Just clicking on the UniPrint printer icon fixes it.
The fact that it does not happen with other applications is caused by
the fact that ArtWorks still uses the RISC OS 2 printing protocol.
Some other applications (e.g., OvationPro and EasiWriter) use the RISC
OS 3 protocol, but not all of them do. Zap, for instance, uses the
RISC OS 2 protocol, too, and not surprisingly, it shows the same error
message in this situation.

Yes, that works, but clicking on the printer icon is much easier.
