My Office Picture Manager calls a dialog that has a dropbox to set the printer. If you can create a document image (*.mdi) you will know it's the printer driver that has a problem.

Every time I open a picture file with Windows Photo Viewer or Office Picture Manager and attempt to print, I get 4 message boxes that read, "Your pictures can't be printed because this error occurred".
There is nothing else but an OK button - not even an error ID.
The strangest thing is I can print anything with any other program just fine. Firefox, Photoshop, all of those print without a problem. It's only Photo Viewer and Picture Manager that do this.
Printer is an Epson RX595 with 64 bit drivers.

2012-04-21T09:16:08+00:00 Brilliant. It worked. I've been trying to get this to work for ages. I had all the latest printer drivers etc but couldn't print the windows picture and fax viewer. Used your solution and it's working perfectly. Thanks.

2011-12-20T03:43:50+00:00 I have one more tidbit that might help to resolve this issue.
I didn't have this problem with Windows 7 64-bit until I downoladed and installed the Windows Live Photo Gallery. From that point on the Print function in Preview ceased working wirh 4 error screens cascading down with the same message as in your case. I have uninstalled Windows Live, but the Preview Print problem remains. This is not related to printer drivers as far as I know, and the printer works fine with other applications.
