In XP it will in the control panel under Printers,in Win98 it will be under my compyer>printers.

315688 2005-01-19 03:48:00 Setting/Printers and right click on the printer's icon. There might be a tick/no tick optioin there called "Work Offline".

This can get set if the printer is not on when the system is booted. It doesn't get reset automatically. :(

If MS Office Document Image writer is in printers, delete it.
