You don't have to have a printer physically connected to the laptop, but you
do need to have the printer driver installed on the laptop and set as the
default (or active printer in Word). The driver must be installed locally
even if you print to a network printer.

I have the very same problem, but I know why I am getting the "printer is
not responding message." I get the message when my laptop is not
to a printer because it is a laptop and I can take it to the park if Iwant.
I know there is no printer at the park, but that message freezes up mywork
computer for up to 15 seconds while it searches for one when I start to
on a Word document.time
Is there anyway to stop this from appearing? I have looked for a long
on how to resolve this problem but most of the answers don't seem topertain
to a laptop freely roaming the wilds of civilisation. It is a ratherresponded,
annoying little occurance.
thanks in advance of any help.

I can print from my other applications and excel to the same printer

theother application works I don't know why I would need to do that.
Any helpful info would be great, and I'll post my reply when I reinstall

Make sure your firewall supports printing over the network. It may be
preventing your computer "seeing" the printer.
Word checks the printer for each document for instructions on how to
for thethe text.
If you are unable to resolve this any other way, install the driver
the belowsame printer as a local printer on your computer and set that as the
default.
Hope this helps
