Hello,

I have a system doing the same thing '"The printer has not yet responded,
but the Microsoft Office program may be able to proceed without printer
information"'

I can print from my other applications and excel to the same printer without
that error. I am working on trying to install using local admin but if every
other application works I don't know why I would need to do that.

Any helpful info would be great, and I'll post my reply when I reinstall the
printer.

Thanks,
Philip Brown

Make sure your firewall supports printing over the network. It may be
preventing your computer "seeing" the printer.

Word checks the printer for each document for instructions on how to lay out
the text.

If you are unable to resolve this any other way, install the driver for the
same printer as a local printer on your computer and set that as the
default.

Hope this helps

office network printer setup as default printer.
