In Word, try turning off background printing in Tools | Options |
Print. In Windows, try turning off printing spooling and/or
advanced text services in Start | Control Panel | Printers |
<right-click on your printer> | Properties.
Glad you got it to work. The exact wording in the Properties
dialog box varies with different brands and models of printers,
but you obviously got the drift of what I was trying to say.
