Solution for Outlook 2010 “There was an error when printing started” Problem Posted on May 12, 2011 by Herb I'm beginning to lose cannot print from outlook 2010 track of how many different multifunction printers I've tried in my effort
Outlook Will Not Print
to find one that works. So, far, I've tried at least the following printers, and gave up outlprnt location after heroic efforts: Canon MX870 (could get scanning to work) Canon MP980 (couldn't get it to recognize the print head… nor the replacements Canon sent) Hewlett Packard HP8500 (froze http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_outlook-mso_other/printer-will-not-print-emails-from-outlook-2010/7f7586de-c45c-4290-abc1-97cb6a3b5801 during printing) Hewlett Packard HP6500 (scanning didn't work correctly; and it froze during printing) Hewlett Packard HP4500 (froze during printing; automatically reprinted same section repeatedly) So, I decided to switch horses and try my first Lexmark. I ordered an Interact S605 from Costco. I buy all of my major computer items from Costco because of their 90 http://word.herbtyson.com/?p=353 day if-it's-a-piece-of-crap-bring-it-back policy. All five of the preceding, and maybe a few more, have taken their place on my printer pedestal, and perished. The Lexmark arrived yesterday. I waited 24 hours to install it, however, just to make sure it wouldn't dissolve all by itself. This afternoon, the box was still there, so I decided to go for it. About 20 minutes after I began the unpacking process, it was installed and ready to print a test page. Right out of the gate, however, I encountered two problems. First, the test print page didn't finish. Strike one. I don't have a solution for this problem, but I haven't encountered another hang yet, either. So, I canceled and tried to print a test page from Outlook. There, I received the annoying message "There was an error when printing started. To check the printer setup…". Strike two. I recalled having seen the message before, however, and knew something I could try. And it worked. I closed Outlook, and deleted the following file: C:\Users\Herb\AppData\Roaming\Micro
Microsoft Office 2010 Join the Community! Creating your account only takes a few minutes. Join Now Brand new computer, installed W7 Enterprise 64 bit and Office 2010 like I have on about 30 computers. All of the others are fine but https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/106029-office-2010-cannot-print on this brand new Dell Optiplex 980 only Office 2010 cannot print. I can print to the same printer from notepad or Adobe Reader printing a PDF is fine. It is only Office 2010 that is having the problem. When trying to print from Outlook the user sees this error: There was an error when printing started. To check the printer setup, double-click the Printers icon in Windows Control Panel. I have removed and reinstalled the printer and error when did the same with Office 2010 but no change. The MATS utility (Microsoft Automated Troubleshooting Service) found nothing wrong. Any ideas?

Have you tried to go to file error when printing then print? Do you get the same results? Does the printers folder show any obvious errors? Maybe event viewer shows more detail errors. 0 Thai Pepper OP Richard Wright Jul 28, 2010 at 4:40 UTC In Word or Outlook I've tried both file/print or the printer icon and get same results. Printer properties all look fine and as I noted printing is fine outside of Office - notepad and Adobe Reader print fine. Printer Self Test is ok too. The printer was added both by browsing to \\servername and double clicking on the printer AND by "Add a printer" button in Devices and Printers. I'm stumped... 0 Thai Pepper OP Shane Fontenot Jul 28, 2010 at 4:49 UTC Here is a microsoft article about troubleshooting printer issues in Word 2010 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826845
But I'm not sure if it will help you but there may be somethings to try to get you started. 0 Poblano OP Ryan-AFD Jul 29, 2010 at 9:24 UTC Try a Different driver. If your using PCL try PS or if the printer does not support PS use PCL 5 or 6. 0 Thai Pepper OP Richard Wright Jul 29, 2010 at 3:55 UTC The printer is a Xerox 6180N PS. I deleted the current printer and printed directly via IP and told Windows 7 NOT to keep t
