I also found filterpipelineprintproc.dll at the following locations:

E:\ce5fab2233f5decc9a840f7ac18827\amd64
E:\ce5fab2233f5decc9a840f7ac18827\i386

The files in these two directories are left-overs from a .NET update. This is a known issue and documented in the Microsoft Knowledge base:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951847/en-us

"Known issues
Issue 1
After you install the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003, there is an arbitrary folder that is generated in the root of drive C. This folder contains two subfolders that are named amd64 and i386. These two subfolders both include the following files:

* Filterpipelineprintproc.dll
* Msxpsdrv.cat
* Msxpsdrv.inf
* Msxpsinc.gpd
* Msxpsinc.ppd
* Mxdwdrv.dll
* Xpssvcs.dll

These files were pending to be deleted from the XPSEPSC installation.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, delete the folder manually."

Same here, it says that the file filterpipelineprintproc.dll cant be removed. I guess fail safe mode would solve it. Anything else?

Found the answer to deleting the filterpipelineprintproc.dll file left over on my external hard drive. Right click on the file and share. This allowed me to delete the file.

set the folders as shared AND allow network users to change files - then it works
