Okay, this is perplexing. I just messed around a little more, and noticed
that in my printer folder under the windows control panel there is also one
labeled as "Microsoft Office Document" and under that says "image writer"
Under the about section it says "Microsoft Office document image writer
driver." When I switch to this as my default printer (even though it is not
a printer, apparently, but a driver) it allows me to print preview and create
reports. I cannot do this with my physical printer set as the default. My
physical is an HP office jet K60 (this is the one which will not allow me to
print, print preview, or create reports). I cannot print with the driver,
but can do everything else.
Now, this sounds like a mistake in installation or something, where some
type of acess driver was installed in the printer folder instead of with the
actual printer itself. Do you know any way I can fix this?
