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. |

If you are connecting to the printer over a network, make sure that you have
the driver installed locally. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, Suzanne.
I should have mentioned that ONLY Word has the problem. Outlook, Excel, and Powerpoint, the other applications in the Office 2003 ALL display the default printer when the cursor is hovered over the printer icon. Only Word says, "No printer." "Suzanne S.

Word depends much more heavily on the printer to format documents than any
other Office app--with good reason, since Outlook, Excel, and PowerPoint are not designed primarily to produce printed output. -- Suzanne S.

OK, Suzanne, Word IS special. After being very careful (disabling Norton A/V,
you name it, etc., I re-installed the latest driver for XP on this computer. Word recognizes the printer instantly. "Suzanne S.
