Windows 10: No print preview in file explorer

In file explorer, when I right click on a jpeg/bmp and click on print it will bring up a window that will show a print preview as well as options to select A4/A3/A5, Landscape an so forth. My problem is it does noes show you the jpeg/bmp/preview and if you continue to print it comes out clear at the printer.
