Printing to One Note as a printer

[caroljean]

I have Office Home & Student 2007 and am running XP.
When I first installed the software One Note came up as a "printer" to be
selected.
I recently installed a "recommended" service pack and after that it no
longer showed as an available printer. I have tried uninstalling and
reinstalling the software. Still no "printer". Any suggestions?

Hello Carol,

Sorry for the problems. Can you try to fix at
http://blogs.msdn.com/descapa/archive/2008/02/06/how-to-fix-missing-printer-icon.aspx ? Let us know if it works for you (either here or on the blog).

And which service pack did you install?

Thanks John; The fix did work. The service pack that I had installed was:
2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 1 (SP1)
Do you think that it was causal to the missing printer icon or just a
coincidence? I have to say that I'm having second thoughts about
re-installing this SP. (Although now that I know the printer icon can be
put back, I'm tempted to do it just out of curiosity.) Your opinion: Do you
think I should try the SP again?
Regards,
Carol

I suggest installing the service pack again. I can't guarantee the printer
removal was a one time problem, but there are enough fixes in the SP that I
think it is worth it.

Plus, now that you know the workaround can reinstall the printer, it may be
a bit painful to upgrade (for which I apologize), but at least you will have
the printer installed.
