Re: So Complicated

Hard to know, but I'm guessing your default printer is the Microsoft XPS (or something like that). You'll need to make sure your default is the one you actually are trying to print onto. That should solve the problem. If not, I'll try to give it more of a look when I'm back on my normal computer this evening.

Okay. I'll do some troubleshooting for you when I'm in front of my Vista computer. I've got OneNote, so I should be able to recreate your issue. It'll be a few hours, though. Sorry.

Re: So Complicated

Everything I've found suggests that the problem is that you've somehow selected "Print to OneNote" as your default. Check your printers under control panel and double-check that the one you want is the default (it should have a little green checkmark next to it). I'll post again if I find anything else.
