Cannot print from Publisher

Thank you.

That worked for me.

Microsoft ends the support for the 2007 Office, even you could still use it, but all print (to any printer including printing to PDF driver)functions are disabled.  The only way to over come this problem for printing, is to save as PDF, fire up any pdf reader, print the pdf file as usual.

That statement is incorrect.  I have 3 older machines running it no problem.  I my case I found windows 10 was not compatible with my old motherboard and CPU.  I purchased a new machine running windows 10, put my old publisher and office on it and it works great.  Did not have to buy a yearly subscription to 365 or anything like that.  People if you like the old version it does work.

Ok , I have been fighting this for months.  Got a new computer and reinstalled my old publisher program.  Works like a charm.  Took the old computer and wiped it clean.  Standard windows 10 install.  Nothing fancy.  Reinstalled publisher and it froze again.  Same thing.  would not print.  Looked at 3 other computers purchased at the same time.  The other 2 have different motherboards and chipsets.  Our conclusion, some new update to windows 10 is not compatible with the old mother board or processor. 

Conclusion, I upgraded the machine but did not have to upgrade to 365 or yearly subscription service.  My old MS publisher features work well once again.  The other 2 old machines are having no problems.  Just the one with the different board and CPU.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the tip.  I never thought the font files may be the cause of the problem.  However, I've used several different fonts in different documents and it still won't print.  They can't all be corrupt can they?  What works for me is to save the  publisher document as a PDF file (print to PDF) which will then print without a problem.

I found a solution that worked for me, so I thought I would share it. After Windows 10 updates, I could no longer print from Publisher.

Here's what didn't work:

• uninstalling updates (some would not uninstall and required manual removal from registry)
• saving file under new name
• updating printer drivers
• uninstalling MS Office, running registry cleaner, and reinstalling Office

Here's what worked:

Through the process of elimination (systematically deleting each graphic and text box), I determined that one of my fonts (dense-regular.otf) had been corrupted by the Windows updates, or at the very least would not allow Publisher to print. I deleted that font from my Publisher file, and IT PRINTED!

I hope that this helps someone!
