Hi All:

I have installed P3 successfully in my new machine with Windows XP OS. However, I can’t print any layout to the network printer. Has anyone encountered this? What seems to be the problem? Appreciate you help. Thanks.

    Hi,
    I am also faced the same problem. When I try to see the print preview, i am getting an error message "no printer is installed". The printer is installed on the network. I could able to print on Adobe Acrobat. I dont know why it is not getting printed on on the network printer.

    Thanks

    Ravi

    Hi Guys,

    I am assuming that you have just installed your XP OS.

    Even if you are using an network printer you have to install it to work for you.

    If your network using a printer which is shared by a computer then do the following:
    - Control panel>printer>network printer>browse for a printer and install it.

    If your network using a printer which has IP address and stand alone then
    - Control panel>printer>local printer>create port>choose TCP/IP> type in the IP address and install.
    - Ip address usually available with system administrator.

    IF you have already installed Acrobat® Distiller then you can print becasue it create a PDF printer for you.

    Regards

    Is it true, I use P3 v3.1 with SP2 on winXP pro over a year and haven’t meet this problem.
    May I know the software configuration? Standalone or network installation? What’s the P3 folders path?
