Cannot print from Publisher

I can no longer get publisher to print to any printer, including a physical printer (HPLaserJet) or to a file, i.e. a PDF.  It tries to connect for about 30 seconds and then once connected the print button remains greyed out.  All other MS Office programs work fine.  Any ideas?

    Since the last Microsoft update in December 2017/January 2018 timeframe, I can no longer print a Publisher (2007) document.  Message received is waiting on printer to respond. All other Microsoft applications work fine.  I use Publisher in my work so really need to resolve this issue.

    Im having the same issue. Had an IT company look into it, they couldnt fix it. Not sure why the update did this to Publisher. Very frustrating.

    Same problem here.  After Windows10 update, MS Publisher won't print.  Oddly, Word & Excel print just fine even though they're part of the same Office package.  Did anybody figure-out what's going on?
