If I correctly understand your dilemma, no matter how you try, everything prints to file instead of printing to paper ?



If so ... and this is me grasping at straws ... have you set the printer options DEFAULT PRINTER to the printer you are wanting ?

If you've already done that (and in light of already re-loading the software) I'm not certain of the solution. You could always contact Microsoft directly and see what they advise.

Yes to both questions. I did do a post in the Microsoft Forums but already 18 deer staring into headlights have looked at the post. I will post here when I finally get things up and working. Thank You

Did finally get everything straightened out. Did do a complete uninstall of all printers and HP software. Reinstalled, played with network connections and ended up all OK again.
