microsoft image writer
What is it? I've never encountered this before and it's driving me
nuts. It pops up on random pdfs or docs which I try to print and only allows me to save as .mdi. In other cases, it pops up but I have choices and can choose my own printer and it doesn't change the extension from .doc or .pdf to .mdi. If I say OK to saving as .mdi, I still can't print. Arrrrugh! Is there anything I can do to change this? Background: I have a new hard drive (the "old" one went kaput, so I have new software that is similar to my original configuration which is both microsoft and dell approved). My printer wasn't recognized by my computer - so I went to HP and downloaded the drivers from there because I don't know where the installation CD is hiding. I suppose this image writer thing came with my drivers (it's a printer/scanner/copier), but I don't know for sure and I sure don't know how to work around it. TIA |

Thanks, I saved the page but it didn't answer the other part of my
question. Why would it pop up on random pdf's that I try to print from the web? The only option to choose is image writer in those cases. Is it a problem with the web page design or with my computer?

I wish I could help you with that but I'm afraid I can't.

Problem solved... I downloaded new drivers for my printer from the
internet so now I just have to reselect the default printer from time to time (I'm still not sure why). thanks ```````````````````````````````````` JoAnn Paules [MVP] wrote: I wish I could help you with that but I'm afraid I can't.
