The common, "Unable to save print settings" error message in MS Outlook is posing a difficult time for me. Microsoft's solution for overcoming this page setup configuration problem is to rename, replace or even move the Outlprnt to another directory does not work.

Outlook presents the, "Error obtaining print settings ..." message, deletes the newly created Outlprnt file, and continues to refuse to let the user change the page setup.

I've tried this solution unsuccessfully repeatedly for Outlook 98 and 2000.

Microsoft offers no alternative solution. Has anyone else run into this and if so, is there a workaround?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

This happens when the softwares can't keep track of what it's doing, which happens too much. It is too complicated confusing and arrogant.

If playing with the settings do not clear this up for you, then do the following, dependant on whether one way is allowed or not. in the e-mail that you wish to print, right click and select all, right click again and print. If this is disallowed,then right click and select all, then right click again and copy, then paste it into WordPad or Word, and then from there click print. On the last will print it out for you. Good luck with playing with the settings.

This does not resolve the problem of trying to print a listing of all the contacts in the Contact List in Detailed Card format on Day Runner size paper, which is what I'm actually trying to accomplish.
