Can't open Word documents if not connected to my home network.
MS Office 2000. Windows XP. Our home computers are connected to a network
and direct on line. If my printer is not connected to the network, word documents (created and saved on my computer) will not open. Get fatal error message loop. Same if (lap top) computer itself is not connected to the network. Would appreciate any ideas on how to fix this. |

I downloaded the most recent drivers from HP but it didn't solve the problem.

Thanks for your suggestion. I installed the latest updates from HP but it
hasn't changed the problem.

I changed the default to the newly installed printer after installation.
