MS Office 2011 crash when printing after El Capitan update

Here a Tip and not a question :

After installing El Capitan update on my PowerBook, MS Office 2011 (all of them - XL, Word,, PPT...) crashed when printing a document.

Then I ran an SOS in the Disk Utilities - note this SOS is somewhat simpler than previous utility version in Maverick.

Done job, can now print all my MS document.

MacBook (13-inch Aluminum Late 2008), OS X El Capitan (10.11)

Didn't work for me. Mac w/ OSX 10.11.03 So far I have


1. Deleted all MS Office as described in https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Troubleshoot-Office-2011-for-Mac-issues -by-completely-uninstalling-before-you-r…

2. Run Clean My Mac "Uninstall" to make sure there were no leftover Office files

2. Reinstalled MS Office

3. Downloaded and reinstall my printer driver (Samsung 191x).

4. Run your SOS suggestion (in the english version it's labeled "First Aid."


still no luck.


All other apps print just fine on all printers. Office doesn't even allow me to get as far as selecting a printer; it simply crashes on the print command, both keystroke and from the menu bar.
