After copying over the current GENPD.APP with an original from the install disks, and the disk i/o error goes away but is replace by the Printer Driver Setup dialog, with no ability to set up a printer driver. I think the problem is because printer driver info such as the definition of the "GENERIC" driver are stored in genpd.app. The problem then, is how can I create a new "GENERIC" driver that won't cause the I/0 error.

Paul,

Just another note on this. I overlooked the fact that, according to your message you're using FPW rather than FPD. I don't believe that FPW either needs or uses GENPD, it uses the Windows printer drivers. While what I wrote about the D: drive still applies, printer information wouldn't. There is, however, a way to change the default printer driver to Generic / Text Only in Windows. If this is the problem, please post a response.
