You're at the troubleshooting stage - I doubt we'll be able to do anything more for you.
1) Is Corel the only program that has this issue? (ie: can you print both from the menu and from the preview in programs like Word, Photoshop, Paint, Notepad, etc?)
- This will tell you if it's a Corel or Windows problem.
- If you can print, the problem is Corel. If you cannot, the problem is Windows.
- If you have semi-crap service from your printers, then the print drivers are likely the issue.
2) Has this been going on since you installed Corel 11, or did it start happening after at some point?
- If it was from the beginning, I'd give up and call Corel first. Or god forbid, go back to an older version or go up to Corel 12.
- If it happened at some point later, use that magical "Windows XP Restore". Take it back to the day you got it if you have to (and if it's important enough).
4) Pick one printer and work with it - using two printers gives too many irrelevant variables and for all you know the printers could be fighting with each other. Take one off for now, completely. Unplug it, uninstall it, forget it was ever hooked up for a while.
3) Uninstall - if feasible - your anti-virus and firewall. Stay offline completely while doing this. Remove them completely and try again.
4) If that doesn't work, uninstall and reinstall Corel while the anti-virus and firewall are removed.
5) Uninstall and reinstall only ONE printer driver before reinstalling anti-virus and firewall.
5) Is the printer connected to any networking devices?
6) Is the printer shared?
7) Is the printer plugged into a front USB port on the computer (these are secondary-input ports; printers tend to work poorly there)?
8) What else is actually running? Go to START>RUN...
- Type in msconfig and in the setup window, go to "startup" on the far right side. Uncheck all the crap. Turn off things like the cute animated thing in the corner, the free thingy that downloads songs, the chat program, and all the other stupid bells and whistles. Retstart the computer.
**This is not a "give me an answer" problem; it's a random thing that has a solution, but it ain't in the Corel spectrum of issues. I fully believe you'll get better advice from a printer forum, or a Win XP forum, or actual Corel tech support.
