Default Word 2003 does not recognize default printer.

Even though the printer driver is the latest for XP Home (and has been
re-installed more than once) and Control Panel HAS one printer installed and
it is the default, Word 2003 reports "No printer" when the cursor hovers over
the printer icon. This is beyond me. If I click on the printer icon, I get a
box that takes me to another window where I can see the default printer, yet
there a note that there no default printer. Double-clicking on the displayed
printer, only temporarily allows Word to print my document. The printer is
connected to another computer running W98SE on my LAN.
