Windows 10: Snip and Sketch returns error "Something went wrong" when trying to print

We are having an issue with the built in app Snip and Sketch where an image is taken and we try to print. Normally, after clicking the print button a dialog of configured printers will show up. Unfortunately, instead of the dialog to choose a printer, the error "Something went wrong" is displayed.I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled from the Microsoft Store. This still has not resolved. The interesting thing is if I log into the computer using an Admin profile, I can use the tool and it will print just fine. Other applications like Notepad or the older Snipping Tool work just fine p

Snip & Sketch

It's the Snipping Tool that's being phased out, not Snip & Sketch. FWIW, I just used the latter tool and was able to paste the snip into a Word (Office 365) document. There was a point in the past when for reasons unknown, opening Word would clear the
clipboard. If you're using an older version, you might want to try opening the document first, before taking a screenshot.

If you prefer to use Snipping Tool, all you have to do (as I suggested earlier) is open the Start Menu and type snip.

Hello FrankEngstrom,

Thank you for updating me that information. If you mean the snip and sketch? Based on your description the snipping tool is crashing?

Please try to reset Snip and Sketch

Press Start then search Apps and Features

Select Snip and Sketch on the list

Click Terminate then Reset

If it doesn't work, Please try to create a new administrator account then check if everything is working.
