Vista - RE: Problem with AVG Free 8, Vista Home Premium SP1 and IE7

I have Vista Ultimate SP1 installed.  I installed AVG Free 8.0, but I unselected the Security Toolbar during the installation.I had no problem printing a web page in IE 7.Has anyone else tried AVG 8.0 without installing the Security Toolbar to confirm that the printing problem is in the toolbar?I suppose you could also try disabling the Security Toolbar in IE 7 if it is already installed.John

I installed without toolbar and cannot print a web page in IE7. I also
installed without the web features and still no printing from IE7.

I just have the paid version now for anti-virus and anti-spy.span.

what can't you print?
the only thing that cannot print are ads because AVG blocks those in the Web
shield on the pro version and Link Scanner on the free version
If you uncheck both you should be able to print

I can confirm that I've experienced the same problem on an OEM Dell
install of Vista Home Premium + post install SP1 with IE7 and AVG 8.
I've even used the AVG install switches that don't install the link
scanner (hidden switches, need to be used at command line, listed on
AVG's site) and still cannot print from IE7. There's nothing added to
IE, no toolbars, no addins apart from the basic Microsoft ones
installed by the OS.

IE7 print preview appears fine, print driver settings are all
available, when you send to print queue icon appears in systray but
shows no docs to print. All other apps print fine.

Removing AVG 8 resolves the issue. Have had to revert to AVG 7.5 for
the meantime.

I cannot print anything that originates from IE7 - web page, banking, etc
etc
I can print anything else and I can print the pages if I use Firefox.
AVG's response is to switch off UAC.

Uninstall AVG 8 completely.
Then reinstall it, but this time without the AVG toolbar.
This should solve the problem.

I already completely uninstalled AVG 8.0 and reinstalled without the Toolbar
and Web Features. No difference.

My error was due to the fact that I was printing to a networked printer
and not a locally attached printer. For some reason, network printers
do work with IE7 and AVG 8.0 Free.

As I added later, turning off UAC seems the only work-around.

actually avg 8.0 free should have nothing to do with printing or network
printing
if you were using avg 8.0 with firewall then you might have to add the
printer to the firewall settings
I am running AVG without the tool bar.
You can reinstall the program but this time do it as a repair and uncheck
the tool bar option
