Could not start printer

I decided that LibreOffice was the way to go … until trying to print (Windows XP, SP3; Dell Photo 944). I get the message above. Printer works fine for ALL other applications. I find many other people complaining about this online, but no simple solutions. Export to pdf works, but that’s not a reasonable solution.
Is the problem with Dell or LibreOffice and what can I do?
