Outlook 2007: Printer unavailable

[Abbudin]

Hello everyone,

my problem is that where I have installed Office 2007, the printing of emails do not work in that office . When I print or make a preview, I have the following message:

"Printing is not available. There is no printer installed. You can select and configure a printer in the Windows Control Panel.

Obviously, not only there are printers installed but it works in Word ... please tell me how to solve this problem , Thank you in advance.

This script (VBS) allows you to define a default printer if you would have several. Change the following values according to your needs:

Script:

Dim setit
Set setit = CreateObject ("WScript.Network")
net.SetDefaultPrinter "\\ServerName\PrinterName"

try reinstalling your printer software. look for an upgraded print driver. also Actually, all you have to do it go to your printers and set one of them as 'Set as Default Printer'. This problem can occured after Vista SP1 is applied. and finally you need to make the configuration changes to a printer and try it again, it will works

If Outlook cannot find your printer, you may have a printer installed but it may not be designated as your default printer. To designate the printer as your default printer, follow these steps:

• Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
• Right-click the Printer icon, and then click Set as Default Printer.

If you have a default printer installed but Outlook cannot locate it, remove and re-install the printer. To do this, follow these steps:

• Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Printers.
• Right-click the Printer icon, and then click Delete.
• Click Yes if you receive a prompt to remove extra files.
• Double-click Add Printer, and then follow the Add Printer Wizard instructions.
• Click Yes if you receive a prompt to replace the existing files.
