Printing in Outlook 2007!

[Guest]

I have downloaded the 2007 Office Suite and I think it is fab, surprising how
easy it is to use even though the 'new look' is a little intimidating at
first!

My only problem up to now is that I cannot print mail from outlook. I get
repeated error boxes saying 'Prop Res DLL not loaded', after I click ok for
the numerous error messages (all the same), the only thing that prints is the
mail header, the actual body of the mail does not print!

I cannot even find a way to report it to the beta team. Any help would be
appreciated.

Cheers

What kind of printer do you have? Do you have the latest drivers for it?
If not, get the newest driver first.

Other users have reported the issue with not being able to print the
body. You might be able to avoid the issue by setting your printer to
Draft or Normal quality (I forgot which one) before you open Outlook and
then print with those default settings. You might be out of luck though
and it might just not work with your printer in B2.
You can try running Office Diagnostics (All Programs, Microsoft Office,
Microsoft Office Tools) to see if that helps. If not, you can uninstall
2007, reboot and reinstall it.
Can you print OK from Word 2007?

Lexmark Printer?
Known issue if it's a Lexmark printer that displays this issue.

Same thing happens to me. Ran diagnostics and it says everything is ok but
cannot adjust to "quick print" which uses less ink with the Lexmark.

I thought we were supposed to be able to report problems here since it's
beta and then get it worked out.

Where are the Microsoft guys to read this?

No one from Microsoft reads these newsgroups. These are peer support
groups, meaning volunteers who are not affiliated with Microsoft read
and respond to posts here.
When Bill said "known issue", he meant that Microsoft knows about it.

You are not a beta tester - you are a beta "user" big difference. Beta
testers are one's who have been selected by Microsoft to heavily test the
applications, submit bug reports, work with Beta engineers to reproduce and
solve problems, etc. The public beta is just that, public and nothing more.

Additionally, did you read the part on the Office 2007 Beta "Get the Beta"
page about no support for this beta?

that's funny - I've been dealing with the Windows Defender Beta for months
and there are people who regularly visit this site to check out the comments
and find out what is really going on... that's what Beta is all about. But
there is no corresponding discussion board in TechNet, which is what you get
referred to when you inquire about Office 2007. I'm sure someone is reading
these but they haven't gotten organized yet...

Sorry to disappoint you, but no one from MS is reading these groups
(with the exemption of the OneNote group that is regularly visited by
members of the MS OneNote team). The beta tester group for Office 2007
has 10,000 members and those beta testers have their own private
newsgroups where they interact with MS people. Windows Defender is a
different beta, as it is open. The actual Office 2007 Beta is closed.
What you downloaded was a preview of Office 2007 which happened to be
Beta 2. However, as Milly told you, that only makes you a beta user, not
a beta tester.
If you want to send feedback directly to the Office Beta team and be
assured that someone will read it (but most likely never get in touch
with you about it. So it is not a means to get questions answered), get
the send a smile tool:

For questions and issues though, you are better off seeking peer support
here. If no one here can answer a question, a member of the technical
beta will generally go into the private beta newsgroups and try to get
an answer there.

It's a known issue that is being addressed but possibly won't be fixed until
around RTM.
it's up to Lexmark to fix this - get on to them.

I can't get the text of the email to print and I'm using HP printers. So not
just a Lexmark problem. Thanks.
