Windows 10: how to see a print preview for notepad?

When I try to print from Notepad, there's no page preview. Can a preview be done?

:)

 

When printing in Notepad, the Print dialog displays "No preview available"

Hello, I am running Windows 11 22H2 (OS Build 22621.1105).

When I open a new Notepad file and type some gibberish in it like "1234567890" and then go to File > Print, the Print dialog loads but displays "No preview available".

Is this by design or is this indicative of a problem?

I would appreciate having a working preview in the Notepad print dialog if at all possible.

 

Printing notepad

Is the printer listed in the Printer window when you click File > Print?

Or is the printer window not appearing at all?

Is the printer online?

Can you print from other programs to that particular printer?

Browse to the Notepad text file, right click it then click Print.

Does it print or not.
