I was able to get Quicken 2006 to print on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit system by following the steps below:

8. Select the "Ports" tab, then click the "Add Port..." button.
9. Select "Local Port" and click the "New Port..." button.
10. Enter "PDF1" (without the quotes) for the new port name and click "OK". Close the "Printer Ports" window.
11. Ensure that the "PDF1" port is selected in the Ports list.
12. Select the "Advanced" tab.
13. Select the "Spool print documents" radio button to make the options below it clickable. Clear (uncheck) the box labeled "Enable advanced printing features".

Once you complete these steps, you should be able to print to your printer again. I am using a Canon printer, but I believe this should work for most printer makes.
I hope this helps!
