Actually, not a !Printers bug but a UniPrint bug since the path is set 
up correctly for other drivers after loading !Printers.

Basically, when you load !Printers and UniPrint is your default 
printer, then the essential "Printer$Path" variable contains "null:" 
instead of the correct UniPrint path. It works for other drivers, so 
this must be a UniPrint-specific problem.

So, you either need to take this up with R-Comp or get used to first 
clicking on the UniPrint icon once before trying to print. If you 
forget, nothing bad happens, you will see the error, then all you have 
to do is click on the icon and then printing works when you try again.
