Windows 10: printer dialog will not open when trying to print photos with Windows 11

Help needed. I just recently purchased a HP pavilion x360 with windows 11. I am trying to print some photos. When I open the photo and click print, the printer dialog flashes and goes away, or doesn't open at all. I have to open the photo through paint or another app to get it to print. I don't have this problem with other apps such as PDF's and word documents. I'm not sure why the photos are the only thing not printing. It also won't let me print them from the HP smart app. My printer is a HP Deskjet 4152e. any help would be greatly appreciated!!

windows 10 print

Hi Joe,

I suggest you to try the following steps to print webpage from Internet Explorer 11 and check if it helps.

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/print-webpages#ie=ie-11

You may also try the following steps to print from Microsoft edge.

• Open webpage that you want to print in Microsoft Edge.
• Click on "More actions" link (This is link with three dots (...) at right side on address bar)
• In "More actions" menu, Click on "Print" to open Print Settings dialog.
• In Print Settings dialog, select Printer that you want to use. Select "Microsoft XPS Document Writer" if you want to print to XPS document or select "Microsoft Print to PDF" if you want to print webpage to PDF file. You can also select any physical printer
  to print webpage to paper.
• Select other print options like print orientation, pages that you want to print, scaling, margins and option to print page headers and footers.
• Click on "Print" button in Print Settings dialog to start printing current webpage to your selected printer.
  
  If you have selected Microsoft XPS or Print to PDF as Printer, Microsoft Edge will save generated XPS or PDF file to your Documents folder with current webpage title as file name.

Keep getting the 'Save output as' dialog when trying to print

Can't seem to print a file from Windows 10. No matter which printer I set as the default, I only get the 'Save output as' dialog when trying to print. I already confirmed that the printer I want to use was set as the default, per the steps listed in this
post: Redirecting.

Other ideas on how to fix?
