Hi Jen73,

Are you getting the error message from Microsoft Edge or similar applications?

Something like this?

[Jen73]

Yes, that is the exact message. It will let me print from Word, but now from emails and sich.

Can you go to C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3 and find PrintConfig.dll?

If you can't find it, you can copy the PrintConfig.dll from a different PC (Has to be same Windows version).

I had zip the PrintConfig.dll and attached it. You can extract the PrintConfig.zip then copy to C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3 

Restart PC and shall fix it.
