Check Printer's Driver. If it isn't new, update it with the latest you can find on the Printer's producer web page.
  • Are other Office documents fine in that shared drive besides Word? 
  •  Is there another printer to test and compare with?
  • Try a repair on Office and check if Office is updated or matching other users.
  • Try removing and re-installing the existing printer.
  • If this is a Windows OS:
  • Perhaps try installing Process Monitor and watch whats occuring as it fails.
  • Are there errors under Event Viewer sections?
  • Maybe test under a fresh or new user profile as a last resort.

Can she open the word file?

If yes, is the Print button greyed out?

1. User can open the word doc but it hang when user printing.
2. User said someone have repair the office.
3 User can print the doc when copy to desktop.

4. User can print in other share folder.
Maybe remove and re-add their access and permissions to the folder.
Or see if it happens under a fresh user profile for the User.
  • Perhaps try installing Process Monitor and watch whats occuring as it fails.
  • Are there errors under Event Viewer sections?

One unknown event, user use the copy and paste to make another copy. They can print out when the old doc open at the same time?
