Unhappy There is a problem with your printer settings.

There is a problem with your printer settings.

Your printer has given Publisher an invalid value, and
the printer could not be correctly initialized. Check
your printer settings in the Windows control panel."

1. I only have one network printer
2. The network printer is not the default printer
3. I have deleted the printer, rebooted and reinstalled the latest printer drivers.
4. The printer name is less than 8 characters long.

... any idea what the problem is???

I have Publisher 2002 with SP3. I have Windows 2000 with SP 4.

I tried the relevant suggestions in article 870622.
Also, I CAN print to the network printer in question from any other application WITHOUT errors.

I tried completely uninstalling the printer, completely removing the drivers and installed the latest Win2k drivers from the manufacturer.

After trying all of your suggestions, the error message still appears. Is there anything else I can try?
