Windows 10: Printing from Any office apps freeze locks the device

Hi There, Since upgrading to Win11, whenever I process a print job, I get a message saying connecting to printer, the only option available is cancel, it never connects to my printer, and when canceling it freeze locks this document. I am forced to close the application with Task Manager, and retry the print job. I Have reloaded the printer driver manually, I have done a full online repair on my Office applications. Restarted the device and the problem persists, What can I do to resolve this problem as printing is part of my daily work routine.

Trying to print freezes/crashes program

Hi,

Since you've tried all the possible troubleshooting steps, what we recommend is to contact your printer manufacturer for better assistance. On our end, what we can suggest is to check the current update installed in your computer and then perform some troubleshooting
steps. Can you tell us the current update or build of your computer?

Meanwhile, please follow these steps:

Method 1: Open Office apps in safe mode and then try to print a file. You may refer to this

link. If the issue does not persists with safe mode, we highly suggest that you install the latest Office updates or uninstall and reinstall the app. To do this, you follow the steps on this

link.

Method 2: Perform a clean boot. It helps eliminate software conflicts. Here's the

link.

Method 3: Use the System File Checker and the inbox Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool. This will help you scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files. To
run it:

• Select Start Windows logo Start button, and in the search box, enter Command Prompt. Press and hold (or right-click) Command
  Prompt (Desktop app) from the search results and select Run as administrator.
  
• Enter DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth (note the spaces before each "/").
• Enter sfc /scannow (note the space between "sfc" and "/").
  

After performing the said steps, please try to print again.

Note: Please go through the section: How to reset the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting with clean boot of the KB article to boot the computer in normal startup after fixing the issue.
