Windows 7 won't print through Photo Viewer and Picture Manager.

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.

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.

    Thanks for your interest.

    I have resolved this problem with Photo Gallery not printing photoswith the help of Microsoft Answers.

    I have Windows 7 on my computer and I had to create a new User Account, as it seems that my original one had become corrupted.

    Photo Gallery printing works as it should now and I find it very quick and useful.  However, it was a hassle transferring everything to the new User Account.

    Hi,

    The only and simple solution for this problem is:

    Delete the "wrong" profile in Windows display color management.

    Right click on desktop / display resolution / enhanced settings / color management 

    Check if a profile is linked to display, if yes - delete this profile.

    If not - click tab “all profiles”, sort by “class”, check which ICC profile is assigned to class “display”, delete this profile.

    Sorry, I have a German Windows only and I don't know the exact expression for English settings.

    I tried every solution to solve this problem - change photowiz.dll, reinstall drivers,  ...

    But I don't want to create a new user profile and copy all settings and data’s to the new profile.

    This cannot be a real solution, because the cause is so trivial and the solution is so simple.

    This has to be a real solution, it actually works, well it worked for me. I am also able to go back later and re-enable a correct profile and it continues to work.

    Good effective solution.

    Do you delete all ICC Profiles for Display?

    I have 8 different ones...
