Greetings Workshop Printer Error

I have 1996 edition of Greetings Workshop (which I love!). I was able to install it on Windows 10 and it works great. However, it will not print to my Cannon MX410 series Printer WS. Any suggestions?

 

Compatibility of Greetings Workshop on Windows 10

Is there any hope of getting Greetings Workshop (a very old program) to run on Windows 10? Is there another program out there that does the same thing? Will Microsoft ever update this program? My 94-year-old mother wants to know. She loves Greetings
Workshop and is very frustrated she can't get it to work on her new computer.

That program is quite old, but I understand why you would still want to use it. I myself still use a program called Card Studio from 1995, but I have to run it in a virtual machine and its quite complex to setup. An alternative you can consider is Hallmark
Card Studio 2017 which works on Windows 10. Hallmark Card Studio 2017:Amazon:Software Before you make your purchase though, try running Greetings Workshop in compatibility mode to see if it works. if it doesn't then its likely too
old. Those older programs use an old technology called 16 bit which doesn't work with newer versions of Windows which require 32 or 64 bit technology. https://www.groovypost.com/howto/run-old-software-windows-10-compatibility-mode/
