Cant print from Word. Can from anywhere else.

Just as the title says. my dads printer prints everything from websites or email but it wont print from a word document. you press print and the little printer setup doesnt pop up. even if i try to print from his Mini to my wireless printer it doesnt work...anybody know why?

Well, if it really is Word v.X, then we can rule out Classic as the origin of your problem. Since it's a G4, we can rule out Rosetta emulation as well.
Unfortunately, I'm not a Word/Ms Office expert, since I use NeoOffice, and I'm not a specialist of priting issues either, so you'll probably have to wait for someone who is more knowledgeable than myself in these areas.
In the meantime, are you sure you have the latest version of Office X ? If you're not sure, you can find updates on Microsoft's website.

Cant print from Word/Excel/Outlook to Onenote (Office 2010)

Have a weird problem. The problem started quite resently....for a lot of users in our domain!
As the title says I cant print from word/outlook/... to onenote.....the only thing i can print from is IE10 to onenote (all other printers work ofc pdf/physical and so on). But if someone has IE8 I doesn't work for them either...
I have the printer under "printers and fax" so its not "gone"....I have tried to repair Office 2010+reboot with no success. AND i have the XPS document Writer present/working aswell.
When i try to print i can see the "printing-icon" in the lower wright corner, so something is obviously "happening"....but if i put my marker there it only says "0 printing jobs for %username%"....and yes i'm currently sitting
in a domain, i'm admin at my computer to(Windows 7 Enterprise).
I'v tried almost everything i could find i terms of repairing and checking the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt\Ski&cka till OneNote registry key (but that's for IE...and that's working correctly).
Now here's the fun part....if i run winword.exe as administrator (rightclick+Run as administrator) it works!
But that's not a solid workaround....
Anyone knows how to fix this? And as i'v explained...tried to repair several times....restarted services....check so XPS function is enabled and so on and so on...
//Regards Andreas

Hi,
According to your description, I selected the situations which your said above.
1. A lot of Domain account could print from is IE10 to Onenote, but IE 8 not.
2.When Domain account print to Onenote, but it hanged.
3. Word works well if runned as administrator.
From above, I think the printer setting was Ok, beacuse you could print something by using Onenote to physical printer.
As far as I know, OneNote stores a raster and a vector format for the printout images. It will first load the raster image (quicker to load) then quickly switch to vector image (hi res/sharper). The image you see for a split second is the raster
image and then vector format fails to render. I believe you did not lose any data, just that it fails to render due to a configuration issue.
OneNote uses .NET to render the vector format and I have seen cases where the installed .NET version or not installed .NET updates would be a problem. I recommend you first make sure you have
Win7 SP1 and Office and .NET updates that show up in Windows Update are all installed and retry after that.
And then,please check the link:http://www.onenote-tips.com/printfails.html, it may be help for you.
If the issue exists, Please use process monitor to selcet the log when the issue occurs.

My status is set to available, but nobody can see me on their buddy lists, therefore I must initiate all conversations and video chats. How can I fix this? I am not on invisible and am not logged in from anywhere else.

My printer is connected to airport by usb but i cant print from my iphone wirelessly even though my iphone is connected to the network..my macbook pro prints wirelessy

help
cant print from iphone but can print from macbook pro wirelessly thru airport extreme
why cant i print off the iphone

The iPhone cannot print to a device that is connected to the USB port of an AirPort router unless you install an App like Printopia.
Printopia - AirPrint to Any Printer - Print from iPad - Print from iPhone ...
I like this App because it works for me and there is also a free trial, so that you will know if it will work for you before you buy.

I cant print from firefox 3.6.6. anymore (but it works for emails), I'm on OS X 10.5.8

I cant print from firefox 3.6.6. anymore (but it works for emails), I'm on OS X 10.5.8:
URGENT, I NEED TO PRINT TODAY !
whenever I need to print something from a web page it doesn't connect to my printer (Samsung ML-1270) but my printer works fine and I have no problems printing e-mails
== a while ago already with older versions of firefox, but I didn't realize the problem is firefox so I can't tell exactly when it started

Posted this elsewhere too; odd thing is both Safari AND Chrome work just fine. Did the suggestions but nothing fixed it, including deleting the app and trying to downgrade to a couple of versions back.
Printing or even print preview on FF results in a blank page. Tried updating the "Add On" but that didn't do anything either. May have to give up on using FF. This is for my mother-in-law's machine and it works fine on my MacBook Pro at home. She's using an iMac with OS X 10.6.4 and this started with a recent upgrade.

Cant print from internet on my d1660.

cant print from internet without restarting the spooler. and have lots of trouble then. usually prints ok from desktop office.

Have you ever had another printer installed on this computer? If so, it is possible that the wrong printer is selected in some of your software settings.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

TS1398 I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else. No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

I have an original iPad 32 why can't I connect on my home wi-fi but can connect anywhere else? No problems at home connect with other iPads and MACs.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Hi I cant print from my macbook pro to my brother mfc j265w anymore. its saying its offline.Can anyone help?

Hi can anyone help me? I am having trouble printing from my macbook pro to my brother printer. It worked fine yesterday but now its dissapeared from my options to print.

I have tried plugging in an eternet (blue) cable from the printer to the wireless router, but i dont know how to make my macbook find the wireless printer!
If your printer is like my Canon printer, you'll have to do as Bob suggests - use the Setup on the LCD panel of your printer to set up wifi. Pretty easy with my Canon PIXMA MG8220...

An error occurred when printing - cant print from internet or pdfs, but I can print from InDesign. Any thoughts?

For some reason I am no longer able to print from the internet, or pdfs.
In Firefox and Safari, I get the an error saying "Printer Error: An error occurred while printing."
In Acrobate Pro I get the error "The document could not be printed."
I even took a screen shot, but I'm not able to print from Preview.
I recently used Font Nuke to clear my font cache. Could this have caused a problem?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Try clearing the print queue ...
Open System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
Click Open Print Queue
Delete all jobs then restart your Mac. Turn the printer off then back on.
Try printing a pdf file.

Cant Print from some Apps

I have a B210a and it is connected fine. I can print from PC, MAc, IPad/Phone, I can email it stuff and it prints but... when I try and print from some of the apps, the screen goes black for some time, then comes back to the home screen without anything printing.
its not all, I tried printing from the Dreamworks and that was okay, but I cant print Disney, the word/number puzzles, etc
When I check the eprintcenter, it says the jobs were cancelled?
Any ideas?

Hey lanadan!
I know that the disney app is currently down on their servers. As for the other apps I'm not sure but if some apps work and others don't it is a problem with the manufacturer of the app. You can try contacting the maker of the app for assistance but if other apps are working what I would recommend is seeing if ePrintCenter.com has another similar app that may print what you are wanting to print out.
Hope this helps!
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

Cant print from Outlook 2003 or IS 11

Hi, a a few things i would look into on this one. Firstly have a quick look in event viewer and your AV logs to see if any further information can be found. Lastly have a look into anything that could have been installed or updated (Even the widows updates you mention) as one of these may be the cause of blocking the print process. i would advise looking into AV also on this.

In the last few days I can no longer print from Outlook 2003 or IE 11. I could before and I can still from Word, Excel etc. In both Outlook & IE, when I push Print, the print dialog comes up, my printer is recognized, I can access its features, but when I press Print, nothing goes into the print que. I have Windows 7 and have just updated and have restarted and cold started.
Any Ideas?

Cant print from Photoshop CS4 version 11.02

I just updated my MAC OS 10.6.8 and have CS4version 11.02. I have an Epson pro stylus printer that prints from other software like MS Word and I Photo, but for some reason when I print from Photoshop it goes to the print cue and dsiapears a few seconds later. I have spoke to Epson and they think it is a preference in photoshop that did not aggree with the lastest printer firmware update. Can you help please?

Hi caseymccjoe,
You posted this question in the Photoshop for Beginners forum. I've moved it to the Photoshop General forum so that someone there will be able to answer your question.

I cant print from EXCEL

I have just installed my new HP Office Jet Pro 8600 and I am unable to print from EXCEL...Can anyone advise please?

Do you receive any error messages?
Yes, the error message I receive is "current printer is unavailable. Select another printer". This error message is shown when I try to print a excel or a PDF file. However, I have no issues printing from Word, or the web. Also, I have a second computer signed on from a wireless network, and it can print everything without an issue.
What options do you get when you try to print from Excel?
It gives me the option to use "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" or "Quickbooks PDF converter". However, neither of these options allow me to print.
Does it work from other Office programs?
Yes, Microsoft Word.
How is the printer connected to the computer?
The printer was originally a wireless connection when the problem occurred. I then switched to a USB connection, with the same results. I then tried an Ethernet wired connection, but no change. Currently, we are on a USB wired connection.
What version of Excel is being used?
"Microsoft Office Excel 2007" I belief it is the home office edition.
What operating system does the computer use?
The computer having an issue runs Windows 7. My second computer runs XP, and has no issues.
How was the printer driver installed? Was it from a CD or a download? Was it the full featured driver or basic print driver?
The printer was installed by a CD. It is unclear to me whether or not it is basic or full, I just popped in the disc the printer came with. It installed version 24.2.0
We recently purchased this printer in order to replace our old printer for office use. The old printer has incredibly slow, and sometimes did not print things. We first set up the new computer (HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a), and added it to our wireless network. We then added it to our main computer, and the printer would not print from excel. However, we found we were able to print things without an issue from our second computer once it was added.
We have tried rebooting, reinstalling, using every form of connection, without progress.
