Re: Cannot Print from Publisher 2003



The printers should be available by simply going to the Printer folder in the
control panel, File, Add printer, Add a local printer, Use an existing port:
next, scroll down to Generic. Both the Color and Imagesetter are available.
I appreciate your problems with Vista.

I'm not familiar with Generic Color PS for Commercial Printer or Publisher's
Image setter. Where do I obtain these? Like a lot of other things, I've
never had problems like these before I made the serious error of getting a
system running Vista, which I've found to be an unreliable, bug-riddled
nightmare since day one. I can understand a few compatibility problems with
some software, but you'd think MS would at least try to avoid those problems
with their own stuff. No doubt they'll offer something eventually, for a
price of course, to fix the problems they've created.

There are other things you can try. Disable the printer in the printer
folder,
then make it default again. Years ago Publisher wouldn't print if there
wasn't
an image writer or some other printer driver of this type installed. Do you
have
Generic Color PS for Commercial Printer installed? Or Publisher's
Imagesetter?

I already went through all the "Latest Driver" stuff with Dell, including
doing a reformat/reinstall of everything to finall purge all vestiges of
old
printer drivers. The drivers I have installed come from the site you
provided the link to. This has successfully solved all my printing
problems
with MS Office and everything else that prints, with the exception of the
Publisher. Since Publisher, Word, etc. all come from the same package, I
can't understand why I can print with no problem in all the others, but not
there. That's why I posted my problem here, and not to a general printer
group.

When attempting to print from MS Publisher to my Dell AIO 966 printer, I
receive "Cannot Load Printer Driver". MS Word 2003, part of the same
Office
Suite, prints with no problem, as does everything else on my system
capable
of printing. My OS is Vista Home Premium.
