We had this issue when school resumed when printing from the IE 7 to HP 4100's. I resoved the issue by using HP's universal print driver. It woud print random text from within IE and if the page was copied/pasted into Word it would print different random text.

Our students have gotten wise to this trick over the past couple of days. I set the GPO settings as indicated above but they are not working as expected. As a temporary solution I added this vbs script to the local computer and added it to run at system logon. The script checks, after 30 seconds, to see if the students home drive (in our case U: ) and another network drive common to all students (O: ) exists. If not, the user gets logged off. It should work until I can straighten out the GPO issues. I also have a meeting with the principal and a student who broke the tab on a network cable trying to get it back in. The tab got jammed in the computer's nic and bent one of the contacts. I was able to get it straightened out but do not have much time to deal with hardware damage. I am going for a combined approach of tech and some discipline. VBS script: 'check for unplugged network cord during logon 'checks for mapped drives 'merge registry key to run '| Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 '| [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] '| "check-home-dir"="\"C:\\WINDOWS\\check-home-dir.vbs\"" 'copy this vbs file to c:\windows directory 'John Cook - 03/2007 Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") Set ObjFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") WScript.Sleep 30000 ' thirty seconds If ObjFSO.DriveExists("U:") Then If ObjFSO.DriveExists("O:") Then Else WshShell.Run "logoff.exe" End If Else WshShell.Run "logoff.exe" End If

I have a lab in the system generating an error whenever a user searches for clipart, especially in Word. It seems if the clipart is cached then there is no error, but if the user is waiting for clips to come in from the Internet and scrolls then Word quits with an error. The error references mso.dll as the file. I have two sets of computers in this school using the same administrative install of Office. The older set of computers is able to gather clipart but the newer machines do not. For various reasons I am using Office XP / FrontPage (SP3) and Publisher 2003 (SP2). All the computers are on a domain with Group Policies enforcing computer and user settings. I have tried to office update and windows update as recommended by the error report. I have tried an updated network driver as recommended by the computer manufacturer. I am at a loss. Any help would be appreciated.
