Print command causes error message and results in shutting down Word 97.
Printer is on wireless network via another computer. No other network
issues... and sometimes it works. It always works with Notepad. Second
Question. Often after this event the file no longer appears in the recent
document list, even though you can find it where you put it via the File Open
command.

Wrt the end of your question, a file that was just opened will never be on
the MRU list in Word when you restart after a crash because Word has to shut
down properly to save the MRU list. As for the cause of the crash, is your
printer driver installed locally? Also see
