Default Microsoft Office Doc Image Writer is still printing ghosts and it's totally freaking me out!!!!!!!

Every time i use 'Microsoft Office (2003) Doc Image Writer' (no printer
at home) no printed document appears - ever!!!

But when I try to reprint the document it's 'dis-embodied' ghost appears
only in the save as dialogue box (even after a reboot)

I think this is yet another Vista bug (Vista can't see/find existing
documents)

I've reported this before without cure

Anyone know the name of it's predecessor (we use at work) which works
perfectly - creates it's own document type albeit can't remember the
extension


Just use the .XPS printer instead, which is rather like PDF, althouhg not so
universal. Alternatively, install one of the many free PDF printer drivers
and use that. TinyPDF is good, but you have to make sure you get the right
link, for the updated driver that does not make you download any further
trial software, IIRC.
