use the following steps:

1. When you are running Creative Writer, click the Print Toaster, then click the
  left-hand Print Toaster, then click Next.

2. Press "CTRL+ESC" (without the quotation marks) on the keyboard, which brings
  up your Windows Task List.

3. Click Print Manager, then click Switch To.

4. Feed the paper into the printer and click the OK button.

After following these steps, your document should print successfully.
