I see the error too (IDL 6 - Win), and in fact TVLCT is always
broken after this call, even if I'm in my 'win' device. I have to reenter IDL
to be able to use it.
Perhaps (or more likely certainly) I am missing the point, but why load colours inside the
Printer device? I have always loaded the colors I want before I set the
set_plot device (usually because I load my very pretty colors in my startup file, and I
almost never change them). Simply reversing the order of the two calls (tvscl and set_plot)
makes the error go away.

Cheers,
bob
