This seems to be a popular thread, so I will put in a plug for the NEW LACERTE FIXIT TOOL (they have some other name that I don't like as well, but the tool does work.) Among other things it fixes printer issues and will do the force install without being on hold for a long time.

Install it and hope you never really have to use it. Last week the update broke my printer driver. The tool fixed it.
