Running Word 2K. I select File, Print. Instead of the print properties opening on top, my Word task in the task bar starts blinking and I have to click on it to get the print properties to come to the front. Its not a big deal but it's an irritant to the customer.

If I print from the printer icon, it works great.

I should also mention that this only happens the first time I try to print a given document in a session. If I print it again throught File, Print then the print properties come right to the front.

The printer is a Brother HL-1240 on the USB port.

Wonder if this will help:
In Start->Settings->Printers, right click on your printer icon (the Brother HL-1240) and click the "Properties" option
Check out in the tab menus of the dailog box which opens up especially the "Advanced" and "Device Settings" whether there is a option to start "minimized". If it is there, change it to "Normal" or "Window" or "Maximized" (I'm not sure, but anything other than "Minimized"
Best of Luck
