Word Automation in VB.NET and Printing

scorpion53061

vb.net windows app.

IN this code:

objWord.ActiveDocument.PrintOut Background:=False

it produces the error:

Word cannot print. There is no printer installed

though there is. It is however a networked computer. I do not know if that
makes a difference.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

Is the networked printer set up as the default printer?

Can you print from the Word application manually (no automation)?

Also, I'm assuming this is not a an ASP.NET app.
