Windows 10: can only print from adobe and web browsers in Windows 10

i have seen this issue several times and the cause seemed to be upgrading from Windows 7 to 10 while retaining all files and apps. the only solution i ever found to be able to print again was to Reset PC and only retail files, not apps. This fixed the printing issue but i then i had to reload all the users software. i just recently had this occur again but this time, the machine had always had windows 10, not an upgrade. I cant for the life of me fix this issue. Printing from Adobe and web browsers prints as normal but if i try and print from anything else, word, outlook, notepad, excel, etc., the job appears to hit the local machines print queue and then vanishes without ever sending to the print server. this also occurs trying to print to a local, usb printer. if i open print properties and print a test page, i get a message that the test page failed to print and asks to run the troubleshooter which doesnt find a problem. it is only this one machine that it is happening too and is not user related. i have tried everything i can find and nothing resolves this. i also have this posted on Experts Exchange and no solution has been found yet. if it had not happened to a machine that wasnt upgraded, i wouldnt be worried because all my machines are on 10 now but like i said, the only other solution i have found was to reset blowing off all the apps and settings. this kills me for half a day reloading software. i have this user on a spare machine so i can invest the time in finding a solution but so far no luck.

Printing web pages in Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for the update and apologies for late response.

• Are you able to print via Internet Explorer 11?
• What kind of contents and extensions do you want to print?

I suggest you to perform the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps:

Method 1: I suggest you to follow the steps below to print documents in the Windows 10 Edge browser and check if it helps:

• 
  Once the document is open in Edge, press
  Ctrl+P or More actions button at the top last end of the browser.
  
• 
  Click Print as PDF button.
  
• 
  Check if the document prints as expected.
  

If the above steps did not work, try the next methods.

Method 2: Set your printer as default.

• 
  Press Windows key and type
  Control Panel.
  
• 
  Click on view by and select large icons.
  
• 
  Open Devices and printers.

  Right click on your printer and select set a default printer.

A Faster Web Browser for Windows 10?

Hi,

You always have the option to use other browsers, however I strongly suggest that you use Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer because of the newer features. To address your issue we are going to enable your Flash Player Plugin. Kindly follow these steps:

• Click the "..." button on the upper right corner of your Edge browser.
• Click on Settings.
• Under Advanced settings section, click the View advanced settings button.
• Locate the Use Adobe Flash Player section and toggle the switch on to enable Adobe Flash Player.
• Refresh your web page or open a new browser tab.

Let's see how it behaves.

Regards.

 

Adobe Print Problems?

Adobe reader will not recognize our printer installed. My mom needs some form printed out and I cannot get Adobe to recognize our HP 3310 series printer.

We have the latest HP drivers

We have the latest version of Adobe

I have reinstalled Adobe, I have made sure all my print settings is ok. Why will Adobe not recognize my printer?
