Daniel Escapa's OneNote Blog

Running the repair feature worked for me.

this worked - the offending printer driver was a quickbooks simple start pdf converter printer driver.  I deleted it and the One Note printer now works.

The above has not worked for me, I am running Vista Ultimate x64 and I believe it was due to installing Vista SP1, though I can't be 100% positive that it is the culprit.

My "Send To OneNote 2007" printer disappeared today. I'm not sure what caused it to disappear but running the Repair of OneNote fixed the problem on XP SP2.

This fix worked for me.  There was no conflicting print driver. I checked properties of all my printers and they looked fine, so I essentially ran the repair on the Office/OneNote install twice in a row and it worked!  Thank you!

I printed and followed Daniel Escapa's instructions, except my husband

spoke to me at the wrong time and I deleted the XPS Printer before I

went to the ports tab.  I ran regedit and deleted every mention of the

XPS Document Printer wherever it occurred in the Registry.  Ran

OneNote Repair (a total of 3 times) and rebooted each time.

But, none of these steps re-established the Send to OneNote

capability.  I then worked through Patrick Schmid's procedure.  I

added a Send to Microsoft OneNote port, selected the default printer

(which I assumed had been done at installation), Named the Printer as

specified, did not share or print test page.  BUT when I got to

Advanced tab under Printer Properties, there was no Send to Microsoft

OneNote Driver.  SP1 must have overwritten the printer driver!  Is it

possible for me to copy this driver (file name needed) from my

installation CD?

Oviously, without the printer driver installed, I still can't send

anything to OneNote and am totally dead in the water.  To say that I'm

horrified is the understatement of the week.  I saw nothing under

"Known Issues" on this SP to indicate such dire consequences.  I don't

think I'll ever apply another patch to this program . . . . if I ever

get it running again.  From reading, it appears that even uninstalling

and re-installing doesn't fix this problem which has rendered the

program completely unusable for me.

Didn't work for me.  

All I have is "Fax" and Microsoft XPS Document Writer".

Windows Vista Ultimate 64 (no SP1)

Hi,

Mine is fixed by reparing. but it get dissapeared very often without installing new printer.

it's very frustrating as I'm Heavily using ONENOTE 2007

thanks for advice anyway.

Ali

The first repair worked for me. Thanks.

Thanks,

repair on office 2007 worked great. any idea how it started tho? I think I got it when I did microsoft update(office SP1), not sure though.

Thank you very much for the article, I wished I had seen your article earlier to avoid wasting time. I am running Office Home and Student on Vista home Premium, and could not figure out why I did not have "Send to Onnote printer" . I rmoved Quickbooks PDF convertor virtual printer and reinstalled the Office (chose repair during the installation) and now I have this imensely usefull virtual printer in my system .

Thanks Sean

Running the Repair for Office 2007 worked for me.

Thanks,

Running the Office Repair option from the Control Panel applet, did the trick for me.

I'm running Vista Business and I believe that the OneNote Printer Driver got removed when I upgraded to SP1 (although I not 100% sure on this, but it was there before).

Thanks for your help.  I also had to select "Change" and then find the "Repair" option on the next window.    I was also confused to not find "OneNote" listed as an installed program, since I had to purchase and install it separately from everything else...

As to what caused it - I had just added an (old) Epson (Stylus Photo 870) printer, which Vista tried to do "plug and play" on - and failed miserably.  Sounds like this might be related, though I'm not positive.  After reading these comments, I went ahead and finished the installation of the Epson before I re-installed the OneNote print driver.  

Again, thank you for your help!!

The first option - repairing - worked for me. Thank you so much! I was so bummed when it wasn't working.

After restarting from a Windows Update on 9.10 the printer drive vanished.  Hopefully repairing will fix it.

Ha!! Found the cause!

The September 9, 2008 Security Update for Onenote caused the Send to Onenote printer to disappear.  Sorry, I don't have the number associated with it.

Removing the security update made the printer driver reappear.  Btw, I forgot to say I'm running XP Sp3

GBM Forum member Blair discovered that the latest updates released just this

I found this at the following site:http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.onenote/browse_thread/thread/58c3b6f451c79f97/3498b7069519c3b5?hl=en*&lnk=gst&q=patrick+schmid+onenote+2007+printer+not+found

It fixed my print to OneNote problem without having to repair/reinstall etc.

-------------------------------------------

1) Add Printer - Local - Do not detect.

2) Use the following port: Send to Microsoft OneNote port.

3) 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.

4) Printer Name: Print to OneNote, of course.

Do not share, do not print a test page.

5) Finish.

6) Get properties on the printer and under Advanced click the drop down

and select the Send to Microsoft OneNote driver.

7) Also Under Advanced select Print Processor and choose the

OneNotePrint2007 and leave as RAW.

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

9) Close all property windows and "voila!" you have a new Print to OneNote

Printer.

------------------------------------

Hope that helps!!!

omg, repaired about 4 times, and IT WORKS!

thank you!!!!

Repairing Office sorted mine, I think it originally got broken by the update around 10th September.

Step #2 worked for me.

I'm using IE 8B2 on Vista SP1.

what is One Note?  I dont understand the language written in the repair notes

"Send to Onenote" does not appear when installing Onenote 2007 in Windows 7 - problem is solved by doing "repair" once after installing all the updates (SP1, hotfixes)

Running XP Pro SP3. The QuickBooks PDF printer had taken over my OneNote port but deleting it was not an option because I use it quite a lot. I found that adding a local port and assigning the PDF driver to it, then running Office Repair fixed the problem. I now have both the QuickBooks save as PDF facility and Send to OneNote working.

The 9 step program worked for me above after I'd already tried Office Diags from the OneNote Help menu.

The 9 Stepper is the one that I would choose first every time as I do use the QuickBooks pdf converter.

Given close to a decade's worth of Intuit's miserable failures with printing successfully (you know, just like hp's printers used to!) I was afraid to lose the QuickBooks .pdf writer on that port....and therefore have it stop working altogether. Tho', I did not see anyone above report that their Quicken pdf printer was no longer working.

Still I chose the 9 step program, the Quick* .pdf writer is still on that port and everybody's playing together nicely. Ahhhhh!

Thank You.

Thanks a million. It worked for me. I always had an option to "Insert as Printout" & also always had the virtual OneNote printer in my Printers folder. I just would get an error about needing to install the print driver when using this feature.

After Repairing Office Enterprise 2007 & disabling the add-on in IE, it now works.

OS: Win XP Pro SP3

Office: MS Office 2007 Enterprise
