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?

    Another possible fix that worked for me, Windows 10 did not have a default printer for some reason... and no, it's not allowed to determine the default printer on its own..

    Hope this helps anyone who got stuck like I did.. I'm gonna write a font verification utility for the font issue.

    Yes! I haven't been able to print from Publisher 2013 for more than a year, and the last time I tried to figure it out, I just got bogged down with people complaining about Microsoft. The pdf work around was ok, but annoying. So I started searching again, and your solution did it for me. Thank you!
