When printing, can't find Active Directory Domain Service

I am using Windows 7 professional. When I try to print from office, I am told Windows can't find the Active Directory Domain Service. When I print from other programs, the print file shows up in the print queue, and then disappears without printing. I can print a test page just fine. I can print from another computer on the network using this computer's printer driver.

Any suggestions?

You're welcome.... The first part resolved it? After doing a bit more reading I didnt think it was going to be that easy.....
Yes. The first part resolved it. I am glad it was that easy. Seems like I have been spending too much time wrestling with computers these past several months...
Thanks for the update....
