MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / November 2006No printer showing under printer icon in toolbar
I ran across an issue where my default printer was listed as normal under File/Print in Word 2003 but on the printer icon in the toolbar there are no printers listed, it just comes up blank. Anyone run across this before? Any solutions or guesses?? Thanks in advance Look in the Printers folder and make sure there is a printer set as the default.  SignatureSuzanne S.

(You can do this through Properties.) I'm thinking that the backslashes may be confusing Word. SignatureSuzanne S.

Is the driver installed locally? If not, that could be the issue. SignatureSuzanne S.
