Word 2007 error everytime word closes

[Karla]

Everytime I close Word 2007, I get the following error message:

Word cannot open the file ~WRD{long string of letter and number}.tmp. If
the file is stored on your computer, there may be a problem with your
hardware. If the file is stored on the network, there may be. . .

Anyway this is on my home computer and when I first installed Word I didn't
have a problem, but lately I cannot close word without this error. After I
click OK to the error it says it's trying to re-open word. Does anyone have
any suggestions?

You probably need to clean out temp files; see

You have an HP printer...

The only solution is to use a different default printer until you need to
print. Please report this to HP as so far they have completely ignored THEIR
problem, so the more complaints the better the chance of some action.

You are correct, I have an HP printer. Thank you for the heads up. I will
try to submit it to them.

I can confirm - I have the same exact problem. I also have several HP drivers
loaded. Setting the Default printer to NOT be the HP Photosmart C7200
resolves problem (Printers & Faxes Control Panel). HP's LaserJet 4100,
OfficeJet 6300, PSC 1310 appear to be safe to set as a default printger.

I can confirm this problem & resolution. I have the same exact problem.
Resolved by setting my HP Photosmart C7200 Printer to NOT be the default. I
have several other older HP printers that appear to be safe.
