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 don't at all agree that the whole point of pdf is that you can then take
the file to where there is a printer. The whole point is that you can create
a pdf file within *your* application, then distribute the file to others,
who can then view or print the same thing you see, even if they don't have
the same program, or a compatible one.

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
