[dba-Tech] OT: Word printing problem

Hi folks
Here's an odd thing that's happening to a friend.

Running Word 97 on WXP machine he goes to print his doc (any doc). If he
uses Print Preview then prints all is fine. If he uses the printer icon from
the toolbar, fine. However if he goes File, Print from the menu the doc goes
into spooling (seen in the printer queue) but never prints and the doc just
closes of its own accord. Whoa! Bizarre. No problem in other Office 97
components (not in Excel at least). Oh and this is happening on two
different machines, one desktop one laptop.

Anyone seen anything like this or have any ideas?
