Print dialog does not appear in Outlook Express or Internet Explorer
Today I get a call.
Outlook Express won’t print.
I log in and take a look. Everything seems normal, and normal documents appear to print.
However, when I click the print button or go to File > Print nothing happens. Strange.
They are running Windows XP Professional SP2, with IE6.
All you have to do is go to Start > Run and issue the following commands:
regsvr32 vbscript.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll
Once this is done, restart Outlook Express/Internet Explorer, and go ahead and print.
This isn’t the first time i’ve seen this issue, so I thought I’d note it down for next time.

I’ve tried a dozen things to make my Outlook Express print e-mails, including your suggestion of regsvr32 vbscript.dll and the jscript one. Nothing has cured the problem.Could it be an incompatibility with Mozilla Firefox?
