Office 2010 Not Printing

molerat

Here is one for all you techie geeks

My new laptop running Office Starter 2010 / Win7 Home Premium will not print any office files on my XP PC's networked printer. It will print from other programs fine, just not office. Other networked XP with Office 2003 / 2007 machines print fine. Office 2010 is now saying "unable to connect to printer"

Help please !!

3. Go to the Shortcut tab and click the Advanced button
4. Make sure the Run as Administrator checkbox is checked

:mad: Worked a few times then stopped. Googled and found this http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-hardware/sharing-printers-between-windows-7-and-xp/4879c815-b48d-4e1f-a445-695200d4b8f3

Seems to be working ok now, installed as a new printer.
