word backround printing

PLEASE HELP on a deadline, connot print, receive a message in the lower left corner of the screen which says, "preparing to backround print" , then, of course no text prints. Any ideas?

 

See if the printer is enable in Control Panel - Printers

Can anything print to the printer?

 

If there is backround material it prints. If I run a test page it prints. I think it is the word program that has the trouble, not the printer. It just doen't print my text, which, of course, is what I need.

 

I would suggest you to check out the various printer settings that your word program has.
