Print problem vista 64 INTERNET explorer

trying to print from INTERNET explorer - get error message Before you can
print you need to select a printer.

The printer has been installed and working for years. HP laser jet 1200.
But for some unknown reason INTERNET explorer will not print and this error
message keeps coming up.

If you use File, Print and then select the Printer, does it then print?
