Office Document Image Writer quit working

Microsoft Office Document Image Writer is my default printer. I use it to
print receipts from Internet purchases, make copies of medical documents,
copies of financial transactions, etc. I've never had trouble.

Today, I tried to print a record from Walgreens site and it didn't work. It
acted like it did - I hit 'print,' it popped up, hit 'print' again, gave it a
name and it acted like it went (although it didnt show me the doc afterward,
but even though I have that checked it never shows me anyway). When I went
to open it, it wasn't in my documents folder. I thought maybe I saved it
into the wrong folder so I tried it again, but it did show the correct
folder. I printed it again and it did not tell me that it already existed,
so I thought that was strange. Again, it didn't print. I checked all of the
settings and tried again. I don't know what is going on. It's acting like
everything is fine, but it's not actually printing.

I have used this for years, for everything. It has never mattered how large
the document is, it works great. Or it used to. Please help because I rely
heavily on this. Thanks.

Some web sites are squirrely; I've never pinned down the exact cause, but they
cause one of my printers to spew reams of gibberish.

If you want a record of whatever's there, you could make a screenshot then paste
it into some other app and print from there, or just save the page as an MHT
that you can view in your browser.
