Excel 2007 - Cannot print from Open > Tools > Print

On Windows XP SP2 using Excel 2007 I am unable to print from the Open
file dialogue.

Here is what I am doing:
Clicking Open from the Office button
Navigating to the file I would to Print
Highlighting the document
Selecting Print from the Tools menu in the lower left hand corner of
the dialogue box

The error message I receive states: Cannot print file.

It then gives a series of possible reasons, none of which apply
because I can print the document if I open it first and then print it
normally. Also, I can use the above sequence to print the document if
the document is already open.

This series of steps works properly in Word 2007 and previous versions
of Excel, so I believe it is Excel 2007 specific. I have tested it on
various machines and all display the same behavior. The only it works
correctly is when using Excel 2007 with Windows Vista (Business).

Any ideas on what may be causing this or a possible work around?

Any help is very appreciated,
Justin G. Mitchell

I have never tried that before but with a simple workbook (XLSX) it did
print successfully.  I have Office 2007 SP1 installed btw.

I have Excel 2007 SP1, running under Windows XP. I can print from Tools in
the Open File dialog.
