Look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder to see if there's a folder titled Themes in there. If so move it to the HD/Library/iPhoto folder and reboot. If that doesn't get iPhoto back up and printing as it should you'll have to reinstall as follows:

Restoring iPhoto Themes

1 - delete the current application.

2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.

3 - delete any Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder.

4 - delete any Themes folder from your HD/Library/iPhoto folder.

5 - boot into the system disk that came with your computer or use the iLife 08 disk and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.

If you have problems with a custom install from your system install disk you can use Pacifistto locate, extract and install iPhoto from the disk.

After installing reinstall the iPhoto 7.1.1 updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime, 7.3.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
