Default Microsoft Office Doc Image Writer is still printing ghosts and it's totally freaking me out!!!!!!!

maybe you dont use them much - the whole point of pdf/image printers is it
prints to a file (instead of the printer you dont have) - you can then take
the file to where there is a printer

I am lost to see why you are trying to print if you don't have a printer.

I cannot repeat the problem. But if you are using this because you don't
have a printer at home, it isn't the best solution. Just install your
work's printer driver. It doesn't matter that you don't have a printer
or it isn't connected, it is the printer driver that Word needs to see
and using the 'normal' printer driver is the best solution as it ensure
compatibility.

Every time i use 'Microsoft Office (2003) Doc Image Writer' (no printer
at home) no printed document appears - ever!!!

But when I try to reprint the document it's 'dis-embodied' ghost
appears only in the save as dialogue box (even after a reboot)

I think this is yet another Vista bug (Vista can't see/find existing
documents)

I've reported this before without cure

Anyone know the name of it's predecessor (we use at work) which works
perfectly - creates it's own document type albeit can't remember the
extension
