Decoding the message identifier according to normal rules says that
a component called LPDSMB (probably a print symbiont which is a client
for the Berkeley Line Printer Daemon; i.e. talking to a remote print
queue over the network) had a FILEREAD error.

Sounds to me like 

(1) You have a print queue connected to a printer on another system
(2) A file was submitted to this print spooler, and probably deleted
    while it was sitting in the queue (was the print server down for
    quite a while ?)

I would expect that you are getting this message on the console.
Does it say which file it had trouble reading ?
Is the file really gone ? 
Does it say what kind of error it got when trying to read it ?
