It would be helpful to know whether the printer is connected by USB, USB 2.0, or Parallel port. Also, could you please identify the make and model of the printer. My standard troubleshooting procedure in similar cases is to re-install the driver software, from the original disks that came with the printer.

I wonder if Norton Ghost 2003 for DOS is truly a viable subject for this topic? The program is notorious for creating corrupt image files, due to faulty compression (although it's possibly okay for uncompressed disk-to-disk direct cloning). Users typically run into real problems with image files created by it. IMHO, encouraging the use of the program is unwise. There always seem to be those who can't grasp the distinction between its compressed and uncompressed options, or who just don't think to test their image backups before they need to rely on restoring them! Norton's Ghost for DOS v8.3, for instance, does not have this fault. Norton Ghost 2003 might be a more sophisticated product - well, alright, it is - but it's just not as reliable. Sorry this is somewhat off-topic. But I get nervous when I come across this particular program. At the very least, anyone reading this topic needs to be aware of the risks that are involved in using Norton Ghost 2003.
