I have a much worse printing problem with Roxio Creator Pro 2012 and Windows 7. Even my printers temporarily worked fine after installing Roxio, after a couple of weeks all of my printers disappeared, including PDF Creator and Quickbooks PDF Converter. Add Printer was unavailable, the Windows 7 error msg saying that print spooler service had stopped. I know how to restart print spooler but it would not restart. I asked a techie friend and he was stumped. I thought more about what programs I might have installed recently and hit on Roxio. Sure enough, as soon as I uninstalled it all my printers reappeared.
Strangely I bought 2012 because my earlier version was known not to work with Win 7. I wanted to open and print a CD tray card I had made. The new version wouldn't open it so I bit the buller and recreated the design from a hard copy on hand. Then I successfully printed about 50 tray cards with no problem using my usual HP 7000. Later all the printers disappeared and you know the rest.
I spent $50 on the Roxio but don't even want a refund. I just to clarify this issue for forum readers and see if Roxio is prepared to address it.
BTW I don't appreciate snarky posts. It's just as easy to remain cool, and especially important for the benefit of those less technically advanced.
