Windows 10: cannot print from Microsoft Photos

I have a new problem that has arisen with Microsoft Photos. If I try to print any type of file from Microsoft Photos I get the error message "Your printer has experienced an unexpected configuration problem. 0x8007007e"


It does not matter what printer I select. Even print to Adobe PDF gives the same message.


I can print just fine from any other program, MS Word, Adobe acrobat, even MS Paint. As a workaround I'm currently opening .jpg and .png files in Paint and printing from there.


What is wrong with MS Photos? Is there a fix for this? This did not used to be a problem. It only started just recently.
