can't insert file as printout

I am running OneNote 2007 SP2 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OS.

When I installed OneNote, for some reason the "Print to OneNote" print
driver did not install. Additionally under the "Insert" menu, the "File as
printout" menu item is grayed out.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled OneNote and I still have the same
problem. I have tried "repair" but that didn't help also.

Any idea what I can do to regain the missing functionality?

Thanks.

No wonder!
No support for 64-bit OSs in OneNote.

For the reasons pls see:

The problem has been fixed in ON2010.
Download Office 2010 Beta and install ON (you may leave out the rest).

Thanks for the information. Not totally surprised. I can not connect to my
university from home because the university's VPN client does not support 64
bit OS either.

I think 64 bit is sold on computers far more often with Windows 7 than with
any previous OS. Now is the time for all the software vendors to jump on
board and make their software compatible with a 64 bit OS. This includes you
Microsoft. I know you are focused on ON10 and office 10 but please fix these
little bugs with your previous versions especially when it your own OS they
are incompatible with. Thank you.

Seems to be so.

The new versions, Yes. Not the old ones which appeared years ago.

Don't you know to whom you are talking??
*I* have nothing to do with MS except being their client. - just a user
as you yourself!
Don't you know what this NewsGroup is?
Just a a peer-to-peer forum where volunteers try to help other
fellow-users!

If you want to talk to MS you'd have to use other channels.

The 64-bit printer issue is not an issue easy to fix.
Pls be so kind as to read the article I had referenced (see link below).

And there is a workaround available which works fine.

So I'm pretty sure that we will see no other fix for the printer issue.

Rainald, they seem to have overcome that in the 2010 version, because
I have Win7 Ultimate x64 installed along with Office 2010 x64, and the
Send to OneNote "printer" is present and works fine.

It does not only *seem* so!
There are no more 64-bit restrictions. And that's what I had told the
OP.
