Outlook won't print

I am running Office 2007, and using Outlook for email.
I can print from Word with no problems, but when I want to print an email it tells that the printers are not properly installed, and it won't print.
I have 2 printers, a laser and a bubble jet, which I only use for when I want color, plus Adobe Acrobat 7, and none of them will work with Outlook though they all work fine with Word.
Last time I needed to print an email, which I don't often do, I had to forward it to my Gmail address so that it looked like an email when printed. Copying and pasting to Word loses all the headers so the result looked like something that I could have done myself. As I needed this for official purposes it was not satisfactory.
Any suggestions on why this problem should be confined to Outlook (I haven't tried printing from Excel because I don't use it, and I only watch PowerPoint, never wanted to print one of those) would be helpful.
