Print Preview Error Message ???

[j4mes_bond25]

Up until yesterday evening, I was able to see the "Print Preview" on both my Word & Excel document from my laptop downstair, which is connected with my computer, through wireless router.

I never used to take print-outs straight from my laptop, but I rather like to at least be able to see the "Print Preview" (so can check the document that needs printing & THEN I print that particular document from the PC upstair).

However this morning, all of a sudden, I couldn't see the "Print Preview" in Excel, but can still see it quite successfully in Word, which seems rather weird.

I'm getting error message saying:

"No printers are installed. To install a printer:
In Microsoft Windows 2000, click ................
In Microsoft Windows XP, click .................."

Could anyone around help me ???

By the way, although I never use my laptop to get the print-outs directly from it, I guess I wouldn't mind doing so, if it's possible. Any idea about setting it up ???

I'd try setting up the printer through the network on the laptop again. Something in your network settings mighta got screwed up.

As for setting up a printer locally, it's easy. Try to use a printer with a USB port for convenience.
