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.

2012-07-25T10:51:57+00:00 Hi frodoboy,
I have the same problem with Photoviewer, etc, as blekman, and have partly implemented your solution.
I have downloaded the older version (5.1.xxxx.xxxx) of "photowiz.dll".
Now, I am not sure whether you mean that the old or the new version needs to be renamed with the "dlx" extension.
Also, don't understand what the extension change does.
This is an interesting learning curve for me and I should appreciate more information and/or instructions.
Looking forward to solving this problem with your help.
