I have checked and I am not running a proxy or VPN. I have not changed my security software or anything else. Yet this problem with Dropbox started several months ago and is getting worse. I used to work around it by closing the Word document and then using print from the right click menu. Now even that won't work. Please find a fix for this as I loved Dropbox but this problem is causing me so much extra work I may have to go elsewhere and I really don't want to have to do that.

Sorry to hear about this, dreamnest33.
Can you please clarify for me if this issue is occurring on the desktop app or www.dropbox.com, like the previous users had mentioned?
Have you tried downloading one of your Word files directly from www.dropbox.com, saving it to another location on your computer and then, printing it? Does that seem to work?
Let me know, and we can take a look.
