There is a problem with your printer settings.

There is a problem with your printer settings.

Your printer has given Publisher an invalid value, and
the printer could not be correctly initialized. Check
your printer settings in the Windows control panel."

1. I only have one network printer
2. The network printer is not the default printer
3. I have deleted the printer, rebooted and reinstalled the latest
printer drivers.
4. The printer name is less than 8 characters long.

... any idea what the problem is???

What model is your printer?
Is the file you are trying to print from another version of Publisher?

Did you look at the printing preferences in the control panel?
