- First, close "Microsoft Outlook".
- Rename the "OutlPrnt" file to "OutlPrnt.old".
Location to find OutlPrnt in Win 10, Win 8, Win 7, Vista: C:\Users\admin\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook
Location to find OutlPrnt in Win XP: C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\
