    I'm new to Open Office Mac and when I try to print it says no default printer found. I do I fix this?

    Did you install your printer drivers?

    Did you try going to "add a printer" from the drop down box in the print menu?

    It turns out you cannot have the disk image of the original download open while launching office or it wont recognize your printer. You have to eject it first, and that is all. Happy people?

    Geez, could have at least said please...
