I have Windows Vista and Microsoft Office 2007. I am a student and beame
very dependent on the Send to OneNote/insert File as Printout. Suddenly (I
think it happened after I updated Service pack 1) the Send to OneNote option
is gone when I click one print. It only has my local printer and MS XPS
document writer. I have tried 'Office Diagnostics' and also 'repair' from
add/change programs. Nothing worked. IfI want to uninstall and reinstall
OneNote, will all my current file be gone? Do I have to copy paste all of
them to Word or something before reinstalling? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

oh I forgot to add that it came installed with my laptop. And sorry for the
typos.

Hello RK,

Sory for the problems. There is a troubleshooting guide at
http://blogs.msdn.com/descapa/archiv...nter-icon.aspx which may help. Give it a shot.

Hi,

I finished step 2. but in step 3, where it says "Identify the printer
(sometimes a pdf printer) installed after OneNote," what does that mean? None
of the 3 printers (1 my home printer, another my university printer, another
XPS document) has Send to OneNote ticked. What should I do now?

Try the XPS printer first, then the university printer.

Didn't work. Any other advice?

I found a previous post that had instructions on setting this up that worked
for me, and apparently several others.

For some reason my linking directly didn't work so I just copied and pasted
the post (from 12/12/2007) from a discussion called "Onenote 2007 printer not
found".

Good luck, hope this works.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This has happened at the office on several computers. After
uninstalling and re-installing the entire office suite several different
times (which DOES NOT always work - by the way) I figured out how to
install the printer directly.

Add Printer - Local - Do not detect.
Use the following port: Send to Microsoft OneNote port.
Select a printer. I use Fujistsu Breeze 100. It shouldn't make a
difference which printer you use. That just happened to be the one I
chose the first time I did it and so I have used it ever since.

Printer Name: Print to OneNote, of course.

Do not share, do not print a test page.

Finish.

Get properties on the printer and under Advanced click the drop down
and select the Send to Microsoft OneNote driver.

Also Under Advanced select Print Processor and choose the
OneNotePrint2007 and leave as RAW.

Under Ports make sure it's set to the "Send to OneNote" port

Close all property windows and "voila!" you have a new Print to OneNote
Printer.

To YouBetcha: I read the post before and tried it, didn't work.

BUT, I don't know what happened, and my Send to OneNote came back without
any notice just like it was gone. I guess I should be happy, but I am in a
bit of shock, lol. Thanks to everyone who helped, maybe those did work
afterall...but took some time apperantly.

Thank You YouBetcha

I had the same problem yesterday and thanks to your post it is fixed. I went to print and the OneNote option was gone; replaced by:
Microsoft XPS Document Writer (which I've never heard of).

This was a longer post but it kept disappearing on me when I would go to preview and ask for my password again.

I just had to join to say thanks.

So:
Thank You YouBetcha and thanks to the owner and moderators of this forum!

I also have this problem.
On investigating I discovered that it is due to my new Vista computer being 64-bit. OneNote does not support print to in 64-bit OSs!
David Rasmussen's Blog : OneNote 64 bit print driver

A work around is now available from
Print to OneNote using XPS (64 bit supported) - Home

Hope this helps.
