my printer was left off for a while. I tried to use it and it won't work.
When I click on find printer it says directory service is unavailable.

This has nothing to do with Word, however reinstalling the printer driver
should help.

Verify that your printer is properly connected to your printer port
Note that the cable must be seated properly in the printer port on you
computer and at the printer.

Verify that your printer has paper (or other appropriate printin
media) available, and that it is not jamming the printer.

Verify that your printer contains a sufficient supply of ink or tone
to work properly.

If your printer has an online/offline setting or button, verify tha
your printer is online.

Reset your printer by turning it off and then turning it back on afte
5 to 10 seconds. Many printing problems are the result of your printe
memory being full.

Verify that you have followed all of the installation instruction
provided by your printer manufacturer.

If your printer documentation includes any troubleshooting information
perform those troubleshooting steps.

If possible, perform a self-test on the printer. Thes
"self-diagnostic" tools can often resolve or diagnose basic issues wit
your hardware. The method for performing a self-test is different fo
different printers, and you should view your printer documentation fo
instructions about how to do so
