Still won't print with NO add-ons, nor after I reset IE7. There are NO
viruses nor malware. A week ago everything printed fine.
Again, Avant and Maxthon print fine, Firefox and IE7 didn't but I fixed
Firefox by messing with Firefox options. Nothing I do with IE7 changes
things --when I click on Print, Page Setup, Print Preview, anything to do
with printing, the window diffuses and says "IE has stopped working". I
noticed that Windows has installed iPrint and Windows XPS Document Writer in
my printer folder without my knowing it -- could those be the source of
printing problems with IE7?
I'm giving this a chance before totally switching to Chrome. It sucks when
everything works great on a Windows OS except a Windows app, and Windows
offers no diagnoses or explanation.
