I am on Dell Inspiron E1505 with Vista Ultimate/SP1 & IE7; MSN OfficeStandard 2007 (plus Outlook Connector & Live Addin 1-3).
Also an Epson Jet printer Color Stylus 777.
The only use of Office 07 is for a monthly spreadsheet, and know nothing about its other functions or the two additional programs. Until the current vastly changed Excel came into being sometime ago, I had no trouble with it; since then, nothing but trouble -- in large measure due to my unfamiliarity with the bewildering number of choices available.
My primary problem is an
inability to Print. No difficulty 3 months ago, then 2 months ago it did not print when entered necessary commands; but completely surprising me by printing automatically while in the process of ShuttingDown. 1 month ago it ceased entirely. I have spent much time at various Forums/Microsoft/Epson/other help sources, all without success.
What I now do know is
there is no Printer malfunction (prints normally everything except that monthly spreadsheet and email ATTACHMENTS!).
I have checked and restarted Spoolers to no effect.
Somehow the message to print is not getting from the laptop to the printer.
I
have just encountered the same "silence" and no printer activation when tried to print an email Attachment 
. Without being able to explain it, the two situations are seemingly related -- in fact, exactly similar.
I will appreciate whatever explanation/solution can be offered. Thank you!
