my MSword documents won't print!
« on: March 29, 2006, 11:54:03 AM »
Suddenly every time I try to print a Word document i'll only get a "save as" window come up and ONLY the option to save the document as an "microsoft imaging document", (*.mdi )?  But no print.
What have I done and how can I get to printing my documents again?.
It is the same for all office documents. They all open as  proper MS entities ie: word, excel etc.
I have tried all right mouse clicks to no avail. Im TOTALLY flummoxed. Can anyone please advise?

Go to Control Panel, Printers and Faxes, and see what's shown as default printer.  My hunch is it's the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer.  Change the default printer there to your actual printer.  Exit and test printing from Word again.  Did that fix it?
