    Finally found a solution to the issue of Word printing blank files to the System32 folder


    Good morning,One of our users recently started having an issue where Microsoft Word would refuse to print. Everything else worked just fine, SPECIFICALLY Word was failing to send files to the printer. It was triggering the print queue to show up in the system tray, but clicking on it would open the System32 folder rather than any print queues to manage. If I set it to print to PDF, it output zero byte long files without even a .pdf file header.The setting which was causing this problem, which the user had not manually enabled but which seems to have been enabled either by accident or by an upd

    printing file names

    Hi, unless there's a suitable utility, I suggest this is a 2 stage process. 1. Create the name list. 2. Organise into columns. 1. Try Karen's Directory Printer the File Cataloging Utility for Windows v5.4.4 Released May 25, 2020 | Karen's Power Tools | Karen's Software - donationware or similar to create a linear list of names as afile. 2. A couple of ways to convert that into columns for printing: a. use e.g. Convert a List to Columns - Online List Tools b. use a blank template in a (free) spreadsheet or word processor program and copy the list into that. That gives you a preview- which you can print. You'd think there'd be some freeware out there..
