Very frequently when I try to print from Outlook, I get the following error message:

"There are no printers installed for your computer. Double-click the Printers icon in Windows Control Panel to install a printer."

I've looked at the MS KBase article #223412, but none of those things mentioned helps.

I've tried reinstalling Outlook, IE 6.0/Outlook Express 6.0 but to no avail.

The only thing that seems to work is restarting Outlook and even that is not consistent from time to time.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

Is this a network printer or local printer? Either way, what is it? If a network printer, what is the spec of the Print server? Let me know and I'll try my best!

Which version of Windows is Office running on?
Do you only get this type of error message in Outlook, or in other applications also?

I've tried recreating the user profile, but the printing is intermittent as before.

You're probably using Word as your default email editor. If so, you should change it to either Rich Text, Plain Text, or HTML. I've seen this many times on a large network where people use Microsoft Word as their default email editor.

We have rich text as a default and do not use Word as e-mail editor.
