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.

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.
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???
I had the same problem with my wife's PC and could not print with primoPDF either. Moving the file to my windows 10 PC and printing to my Lexmark worked. This worked on my Wife's PC . In publisher go to select file (not the printer button) (You may have to expand the drop down) and select "Publish as PDF or SPF .." then save it some place easy like desktop open in PDF and print.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks Bill I have tried PDF but it loses formatting, saving as PNG is much better for me
Absolutely...Microsoft is trying to force folks to upgrade, it IS so wrong, never mind that I, for one, continue to be very happy with my ancient version (2007) of Publisher which is on my home computer, and absolutely loathe the newest version, which is on a couple of the other computers I use regularly. I do a lot of desktop publishing at home as well as at work. Publisher is my go-to program, and it is very frustrating to have to remember to take that extra step and save everything as a .pdf in order to be able to print it on either of my printers. But, I do, and it works, but that doesn't make me any less absolutely disgusted and appalled by the the mighty Microsoft's lack of interest fixing this problem. BAH! Thumbs down to you, Microsoft!
