I'm using Metastock 10.1 on Vista64.  I have an HP Laserjet 3030 that prints from many other programs on the same machine.  When I try and print charts from Metastock, I get the following message:

"A default printer has not been defined.  Use print setup to choose a printer"

The HP Laserjet appears in the print dialog box  with all the printer's details. Also when I try to print preview, i get no dialog box and no preview.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks
Stu

I am not a Vista user, so take this with a grain of salt...

See if this helps http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941962/en-us, and I'd also update your HP printer drivers as I have read about similar problems for HP printers on Vista machines.

Is your printer an attached printer or a network printer?

Failing any of the above, I'd ring Microsoft Support.

Thanks Wabbit.  I'm using a netgear wireless print server.  I'll take a look at the info above and see if that works.

Cheers,
