    Office 2010 locks up with print command


    Office 2010 has suddenly started locking up whenever I try to print. I tried reinstalling the printer driver and using a different printer with no luck. I'm running office 2010 professional plus and have had no problems for 6 months. Is there a bad MS update out there? My machine is running core i7 x64 with win7

    print command locks office 2010


    Thanks for the links but they all talk about error messages which I don't get- I just get a frozen program. I just noticed Word 2010 doing the same thing as Outlook. Other programs print fine.

    Printer freezing Outlook 2010


    I found a failed install of Service Pack1 for Win7. After running the install (successfully), The problem was solved. Gawd I wish MS wouldn't put me through this stuff! Thanks for your efforts though!
