When trying to print some items we continually get a runtime error from a specific machine. When looking in the event log, the following error appears (ID 6161):

==============================================
The document (document path) owned by (username) failed to print on printer (printer name). Data type: NT EMF 1.008. Size of the spool file in bytes: 0. Number of bytes printed: 0. Total number of pages in the document: 1. Number of pages printed: 0. Client machine: (computer name). Win32 error code returned by the print processor: 259 (0x103).
==============================================

I looked it up on Microsoft.com, but the page didn't seem to make any sense to me. I can print one document fine and then the next one gives the runtime error. Reboot the computer and same thing (1st one is fine, 2nd time produces error). I've tried, installing/reinstalling applications printing on multiple printer brands and driver versions. Also tried printing through print server and a printer installed locally and now I'm not sure what to try next.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world, those that understand binary and those that do not.
