I went to print the confirmation of a bill payment and it wouldn't print, it wanted me to send to documents,... which it didn't do either. Last week it worked fine and if I go thru IE it works fine.

My guess is that your printer isn't selected in the Printer - Name box where you initiate printing, but rather something like the XPS "printer" is selected and that's why it wants to be saved as a "document".

If that isn't the problem, try the reset described here:
