Microsoft Word keeps saying “Word is preparing to background print the document” it won’t load! HELP!?

I have a project due tomorrow, and Microsoft Word isn't allowing me to print because it's running very slowly. A message saying “Word is preparing to background print the document” keeps appearing in the lower left corner of my window. I’ve been waiting for about an hour, and I really can’t afford to wait any longer! I found a similar question, but the answers didn’t help me. Can someone please assist me? Thank you!

I have Word 2007 so I will give some direction for that version.

In Word Options, Advanced, Print turn off background printing.

Make sure that the printer driver is up to date.

Download and run Ccleaner to clean up the temporary files that are on your computer. Reboot and immediately open Word and turn on your printer and try to print the document. If this fails open the document, copy the document and paste into a new document as the original document may be corrupted in some fashion.
