On this machine, my previous version of MS Office, Office 11 or 2003,
worked fine with several different printers.
I'm experimenting with the pre-release version of MS Office 12. Upon
opening Word, it says it can't find LXBCPRP.DLL. Upon trying to
print with the (default) Lexmark Z611, Word again asks for that DLL. It
doesn't exist on this machine. I assume it goes to the Lexmark 611
printer, but I couldn't find the file available on the Lexmark site
http://www.lexmark.com/ . Actually, I can't even find evidence of
the Z611 on that site.
t's worth mentioning that I *can* print fine using Office 12 with my
old HP LasarJet 5M.

So does anybody know where I can get LXBCPRP.DLL?
 
I searched using Google Desktop Search, and the dll does exist on my
machine in at least two places:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\lexmark_z600_series73d8\LXBCPRP
C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\w32x86\3\LXBCPRP.DLL
Is this the normal location(s) for printer dll's? If so, then I
wonder why Word can't find it.

It sounds to me like it could possibly be a bug in the Office program. If
you are doing some sort of beta testing for them, I would submit it to them.

I'm sure it is a problem with Office 12. Office 11 has no problem with
that printer. I'm not an official pre-release beta tester (I requested;
MS, making a mistake, turned me down), so I have to figure out these
things without the help of MS. That's what I do anyway even for
products I'm supposed to have.
I have enabled error reporting like a good beta tester. MS should be
well-aware of the problem.
Oddly, it doesn't happen _now_ when I start Word. But it happens (the
menu "Ribbon" is different than the one in Word 2003) at Insert > text
box, or it happens when I try to print with the Lexmark printer.
Actually, the error is: Can not load library "LXBCPRP.DLL". Using
defaults. Error: 126
I click OK three times on three error OK buttons, another box comes up
saying background connect to printer, and then the program crashes.
As I said, I can print with my HP LaserJet 5M, so I think the dll's
for that are loading properly. I should be able to fix this problem.
