Word won't recognize my printer.
When I try to print the printer dialog box comes up with an Hour Glass. When I open the Windows Task Manager it sez "Not Responding" and the CPU us it at 100%

How are you printing? Are you using the printer icon on the toolbar, or are you clicking File, Print, and then making sure your printer (whatever make/model is it) is selected?
Does printing working for other applications? Did Word ever print to this printer, or is this a new configuration?
Life's more painless for the brainless.
