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?
A desktop publishing application from Microsoft that focuses on page layout and graphic design.

Ditto to all of the above.
Have 3 printers. Each workes with all other MS software but MS Publisher 2007
Does print in PDF when I save it to PDF through MS Publisher
I agree with other comments, MS are pushing us to upgrade and this is totally wrong. Wonder how long before word and excel has the same problem???
Microsoft, it seems to me, has become increasingly secretive. I never know what they are doing since they published Windows 10. Their silence about the Publisher 2007 printing issue is frustrating. Linux is looking increasingly attractive to me.
I forgot to add, my other Office programs, and non-Microsoft programs print just fine. It's just Publisher 2007 which won't print.
I share your frustration Paul. EVERYTHING else works. Microsoft has to step up and fix this program. They patched something with the update that fixed one problem but created another for publisher users. If they even would acknowledge that they know there is a problem that would be a first step.

Same problem. I'm using Microsoft Office 2007, with Publisher 2007. After Windows update today, 2-13-18, it won't print to my HP Officejet Pro 6835 or my HP Laserjet Pro 400 M401n. It won't print to PDF either, and when I try to print it locks up and I have to use Task Manager to close it. It appears from these messages there may not be a fix forthcoming. One suggestion, apparently successful for that user, to print to PDF and then print the PDF file on a printer won't work for me either. It's things like this that cause me to seriously consider Open Office, Office Libre, Linux, etc. Microsoft seems to be increasingly unreliable.
