Publisher does not see printer

Publisher wont see my printer at work ever since I used my printer at home
to touch up a few menus. Windows sees the work printer (a canon) and is set
as the default printer and I can print in all programs except Publisher with
the canon . I can print in Publisher with my home printer (a Dell) with no
problems. When I go to print a doc in Publisher the printer doesn't show up
in the drop down menu in Publisher. I am using Win 7 and Publisher is a
trial version with three weeks left until activation.

Thx Jim

Publisher saves all printer information with each publication. When you saved
the file at home you saved your home printer information. Can you select your
preferred printer in File, Print setup? Open the file as administrator, can you
print now? Can you save as a PDF? Microsoft has a save as PDF add in. Not sure
it will work with a trial, if it does save as a PDF, print the PDF.
