SSRS and “Unable to load client print control” issue

I was faced with a new (to me) problem today.  As part of testing of a Silverlight application that has SSRS based reports, the client reported an issue on some machines.  They are able to print a report, but clicking on export or print button was causing issues.  The actual error reported from Silverlight application was “Unable to load client print control.”  Apparently this is a know issue caused by a Microsoft issued patch a few month ago.  Here are the details of the issue and links to patches to address it: http://blogs.msdn.com/brianhartman/archive/2008/11/05/client-print-fails-to-load-after-microsoft-update-956391.aspx

Here is a direct link to SQL Server 2008 Report Viewer redistributable package:
