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?

    Thanks for the tip.  I'll knock on wood and give it a try.  I hope Microsoft fixed the problem although I know they want us to buy new versions of their software.

    I feel like I should knock on wood before I post this.  My printer suddenly started to print Publisher documents after several weeks of having to save as a PDF document in order to print.  I can't explain why.  Was hoping that Microsoft made an adjustment in one of their last updates.  It that's the case...Thank you Microsoft!

    Thank you thank you thank you!

    This fixed the problem for me at work with, I assume, the newest version of Publisher (2016?).  Printed fine on my bosses copy of Office 2007.

    Nothing sent to print on our networked printer in Publisher would even go to Print jobs.  Excel and Word and everything else was fine!!  Resorted to printing to .pdf but not the best solution.  

    Unchecking the box solved it for me.
