Word can’t print due to a problem with the printer setup

I'm on Word 16.15 (Office Insider Fast), and printing has become a nightmare. I can only get one successful print job sent before printing quits completely and I have to quit and re-open Word...

I see others have had this issue - any resolution/workarounds?

***Screencast Recording of Error Experience***

***Description of Problem***

On Word 16.15, I get the following error message when attempting to print:

"Word can't print due to a problem with the printer setup."

After I acknowledge the error, the normal print dialogue pops up and I am able to complete the print normally.  

But if I try to print again (after the initial print is complete), I get the same error message, but the print preview window reports "0 of 0 pages". When I click the print button, nothing actually gets sent to the printer. 

If I quit word and restart, then I can print again for that initial time, but not for additional prints thereafter. Each print requires me to close Word, re-open, and start the process again.

All other MS Office apps print without error.  All other system applications print without error.
