Hi all.

I've been using PSP since ver. 3 and this is the first time I've had a
problem with it: Ever since our old printer died and we installed a network
printer on our LAN, I get a message saying there is no default printer
installed when I try to open the Print Layout applet in PSP 8. I use that
applet at least once a week and I'm tearing my hair out.

Does anyone here have any ideas as to how to get PSP 8 to connect to the
network printer? It's a Brother HL-2070N.

TIA

Do you have the printer set for sharing? Have you installed the drivers?
Have you set it as default printer on this computer? Can you print to it
from other programs like Word?

I have the same problem with a Lexmark printer an no network. The
drivers work fine. It's the default computer. I can print from other
programs. But on "Print Layout" it refuses to print because there is
"No Default Printer." I do a work-around by making a blank image
that is 8.5 x 11 and I copy the images to it as layers. This gets me
what I want, but I'd rather that "Print Layout" worked. This used to
work with my *old* Lexmark printer, but when I bought a new printer
the problem popped up.

Yes

Have you installed the drivers?

Yes

> Have you set it as default printer on this computer?

Yes

Don't have word, but yes, Wordpad and Notepad
and even other art programs are printing fine.
PSP8 prints fine, too, (darn! I forgot to say
that before, sorry!)but the PSP Print Layout
applet that lets you combine various files for
printing on a single page can't find the printer.

I even reinstalled the network printer with the latest
drivers.

I have since downloaded the Corel version of
PSP - v 10, on a 30 day trial. It has no problem
with the Network printer so far. I'm working in
PSP 8 and printing from PSP 10 for now as I don't
have time to find everything in 10 to set it up
the way I need it.

I would love to get this glitch in PSP 8 sorted
out, as the program is set up the way I like and
I'm resistant to change.

Thanks for the reply. Any more suggestions?
Anyone?

Exactly.

You have my sympathies. Yes, I have used that solution
too when not in a hurry.

I guess it just doesn't know how to connect ot a network
printer. (sigh) I'm going to go rummaging through the PSP
files next.
