Thanks. I have only one printer listed, the HP 5550
now attached to my notebook. I cannot see where I can
make it the default.
Is there any settings I should change before I take the
notebook outside the network?
If Word 2003 does start another endless loop of crashing,
is there any way to stop it so I can change the printer
settings, or whatever?
This is such an obvious bug (i.e. if Word 2003 can't find a
printer it just enters and endless loop of crashes), is
there anything Microsoft is doing to fix it? I have
installed all the updates, except Service Pack 2.
