I am sorry to hear that you are having some issues to contend with there.
The file may be damaged or not designed to run in that environment.
Try installing the program again using the original installation media as the required DLL file SHOULD be there.
If that fails contact software vendor for support.
To satisfy my curiosity:
What is UNIDRV.DLL
UNIDRV.dll - dll file called Unidrv Printer Driver is a part of Microsoft:registered: Windows:registered: Operating System program developed by Microsoft Corporation. Some applications or games may need this file to work properly. If UNIDRV.dll is missing, whenever you start the application/game you may experience various kinds of errors.
Technically speaking, the definition is:
UniDrv (Universal Printer Driver or Unidriver) is a GDI-based Microsoft Windows universal printer driver and architecture for non-PostScript printers. It is used to simplify driver development of non-PostScript printers (also called Winprinters) for printer manufacturers. Unidrv allows the creation of a printer-specific minidriver in the form of a GPD (Generic Printer Description) file, similar to a PPD file, which is much simpler than kernel mode driver development.

Firstly, look in your recycling bin for the unidrv.dll file. Restore it if need be. Or move it back to its original file which is either here: C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\ or here: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\
After that run a virus/malware scan on your PC via windows defender
3rd. Open a command prompt as admin and enter sfc /scannow to scan for missing dll's. windows may pick it up and download it for you
If it is because of the printer, you may need to update printer drivers.
Or go to this site: https://fix4dll.com/unidrv_dll
click download now > no thanks, download only unidrv.dll file
Move it to it's appropriate location.
