Grolier‘s Encyclopedia: Errors and Lockups When Searching (1/96)

When attempting to search on the Grolier's Encyclopedia CD (version 7.0.4) that was included with my Macintosh computer, my computer locks up or displays a Type 11 error. How can I prevent this from happening?
The Grolier's application requires that a printer is chosen in the Chooser. If a printer is not selected, the application cannot access necessary resources in the System file. To avoid these lock-ups and errors you must open the Chooser and select any printer driver.

These errors can occur on some PowerPC based Power Macintosh or Macintosh Performa series computer that have not yet had a printer chosen in the Chooser. Apple has verified that this error occurs on Power Macintosh 5200CD, 6200CD, 5300CD, 6300CD, 7200, 7500, 8100, 8500 and 9500 computers using System 7.5.x.

Apple has notified Mindscape (the distributor of the Grolier's Encyclopedia) of this issue.
