"The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable."
Here's the problem..last week, I tried to print a document, but it said that the printer was offline. Strange. I dismissed it as something wrong with the printer, but today I tried printing again and it gave me the same problem. I didn't what to do, so I went to "find printers" and got the error message: "The Active Directory Domain Services is currently unavailable."

Does anybody know what this means/how to fix it? I'm running vista, sharing printer using wireless LAN. I googled this problem, but haven't found any solutions.. the only thing was that somebody had a similar problem, which occurred when they pressed CTRL+WIN+F... I tried that, and I get the "Active Directory..." error message also

I'm running Vista and I have exactly the same problem. But what's curious is that if I send a message to the printer from within Windows Mail it prints fine. It's only within MS Office that I can't send it to the network printer and I get the "Active Directory Domain Service" error message.

Help please!!!!!!!!!!!
