Windows 10: Suddenly I am not able to print through any app

Suddenly I am not able to print through any app. Neither Office, Wordpad, Images app, etc. Not with my physical printer, nor with ADOBE pdf, nor with Microsoft Print to PDF, etc. The error I receive is either "we can not print because there is no installed printer" and it is! or error 0x8000ffff.

I can print a test page from the devices page "Windows Printer Test Page" but not from any other file or Document as I used to do.

The print page comes up with the correct printer etc but when I press "print" the printer does not have any information in the document queue
