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?

    This is the first if have heard of this. Microsoft's customer support is certainly lacking.   A notification from Microsoft about non-support of Office 2007 would have been appreciated by many of us.   Thank you AbolicalDi for your information!

    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.

    I spent over an hour with Microsoft support online chat and they couldn’t fix it.  I think it’s their way of making us upgrade to the latest version. But the mystery remains why can we print from Word, Excel,  etc and not publisher. Come on Microsoft give us an answer please.
