Errors Installing Printers

I have recently upgraded to XP and am unable to install any printers. With
all attempted installs, for various types and makes of printers, I get the
message:

16 bit windows subsystem:
C:\windows\system32\autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running
MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose ‘Close; to terminate the
application.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
