    If ohmnath's advice doesn't help, give more information:

    Which printer?

    Connected with USB or LAN?

    Printing with all your other programs is ok?

    Printer driver by Microsoft or by the manufacturer?

    Since when does the error occur?

    Did you install something recently, that could possibly affect the printer driver?

    Hi there,

    Please check with a different printer. If that's not possible, you can use Adobe PDF as a printer and export or print the document as PDF and then try to print. Do share your findings.
