Windows 10: Right clicking on a picture does not open the printing menu

I have several pictures and I would like to print them 2 per page. Selecting several pictures, right clicking on one and selecting the print option used to bring up a printing menu where you could choose the size of the pictures, border or borderless, how many per page, etc... but that option does not come up any more. Selecting the printing option sends the pictures straight to the default printer. This does not make sense at all so I am assuming it is a setting that I need to change but can't for the life of me, figure out what to do.Any advice is appreciated.

:)

 

Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
What do you think?

Where has picture viewer gone when I right click and select print?

Dear FWAWDW0203,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community



Thank you for reaching out with your question regarding the print options when right-clicking an image in Windows 11. I understand your need to adjust print settings such as image size and layout before initiating the printing process, rather than it printing automatically. Let's work together to resolve this matter.

The behavior you're encountering in Windows 11 may be influenced by default settings in the photo viewer or the application handling the printing process. Here’s a step-by-step guide to adjust these settings and restore the print picture options:

1. Adjust File Associations: Begin by ensuring that file formats are associated with Windows Photo Viewer for viewing and printing purposes. You can do this by accessing the Registry Editor:
   
   • Search for "Registry Editor" in the Start menu and open it.
     
   • Navigate to the following directory:
     
     
2. Modify Registry Values:
   
   • Right-click on a blank area within the FileAssociations folder.
     
   • Choose "New" > "String Value."
     
   • Name the new string value after the file extension (e.g., .jpg, .png) associated with your image files.
     
   • Set the value data to PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.[Extension] (e.g., PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.jpg for JPEG files).
     
   • Once set up it should look like the following display (in .png for example):
     
     [table][tr]NameTypeData[/tr][tr][td].png[/td][td]REG_SZ[/td][td]PhotoViewer.FileAssoc.png[/td][/tr][/table]
     
3. Utilize Windows Photo Viewer:
   
   • Once the associations are set, you can right-click on an image file.
     
   • Select "Open With" > "Windows Photo Viewer" to open the image.
     
   • From within Windows Photo Viewer, navigate to the print option to adjust print settings as desired.
     

By following these steps, you should be able to regain control over the printing process and customize settings before printing. If you encounter any further challenges or if the issue persists, please feel free to reach out to us for further assistance.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we work to resolve this issue promptly.
